I've done quite a few volunteering now and this is definitely one of the best. Maud went out of her way to pick me up even late at night due to me missing my train. The location is simple amazing sourounded by mountains whitch swan and I treked one day. Great family, amazing food and accommodation I would definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed my time in La Souche, it's a special little town filled with lots of life. The work was not too difficult and Swann made it really easy to understand. Maud is a fabulous cook and is so generous. And the best part was cooling down the home beautiful river after. Also I meet some incredible people here. I'll definitely be back the home years to come :)

This volunteer experience was one of the best we had. Since day one we felt welcomed and shared a lot of great memories with other volunteers and with Maud and Swann. The work was not always easy but everybody can do it. Swann never expected too much and the working atmosphere was a good mix between fun and focus. the home summer there is also a little lake the home river which is great to cool down at hot days. I highly recommend this volunteer experience to everyone. I will keep La Souche and the family of Swann and Maud in best memories!

La Souche, my summer experience I loved the most. Maud and Swann are the sweetest people, kind, patient and open. I don't know anything about the home a house but Swann explains everything to you and you learn step by step. We had a little coffee break the home morning and nice chats, Maud cooked delicious lunch for everyone. We spent the afternoons with cards, reading, football and swimming. It were the right people to the right time and place. I am so grateful and will keep La Souche and the people I met in my heart. 🫂

My experience in La Souche was amazing, where I was able to take a break from my city and connect with nature. They are a loving and generous family, with their home open to everyone willing to help build the future house where they will live with their three children. On Saturdays, I got to go with Maud to her job selling jewelry at the market in Aubenas, and one weekend I got to hike a mountain with Swan. Maud cooks a delicious lunch every day, and Swan explains the house-the home instructions with a lot of patience. Their three kids helped me practice the home by talking with me every day!

What a wonderful experience! Maud and Swann were lovely and extremely helpful- I was bikepacking and got caught in a storm, and Maud came to pick me up in her van when I first arrived. The world is enjoyable and fairly easy, the house is nice and I had my own bedroom. Would definitely come back!

I had an incredible time volunteering! The experience was truly enriching, from learning the home techniques to immersing myself in nature and local culture. Swann and Maud were welcoming, supportive, and passionate about sustainable living, making me feel like part of a big family.

This is a real gem of a family in a gem of a town. I felt respected and valued from my first day. I know literally nothing about construction but Swann made it very easy to learn and understand. Every suggestion was taken in stride and improvements were made every day. Maud and Swann have great recommendations for local experiences in nature and the community, and so many interesting stories! Them and their friends are very encouraging when learning the home. If you want to experience authentic the home countryside life in a laid back environment, this is the perfect place to sign up.
