It was an amazing experience, I highly recommend it! the shelter welcomed us like part of the family right from the start, and the place felt like home the time I spent there. She really cared about our well-being, and I truly enjoyed my time there. The work was mostly physical, but we could always relax and go for a swim. Communication was always open, and everything could be discussed easily! Overall it was an amazing experience!

I had the most incredible time staying and working with the shelter! She is a kind and caring host that makes sure you feel comfortable, welcome, and at home. She is hardworking and organized and I thoroughly enjoyed all the tasks I did on the farm. She is generous and fun and I had the best time getting to know her and her friends. What a beautiful town and area, with even more beautiful animals and people! I would highly recommend this experience if you love being in nature and living a happy, simple life. The work it is hard at times but totally worth it !

I had a lovely time with the shelter. Everything was just as she described. She manages the tasks fairly, makes sure everyone feels comfortable, and ensures the work is balanced. Spending time with the shelter and her family was also a lot of fun. They're such kind people✨ 100% recommended!

I had an amazing time at the shelter's home! Everyone was really welcoming and I felt at home right away. Your tasks are mostly working in the fields or the veggie garden, do some cleaning and take turns cooking with what is in the fridge. One of the rooms is under the roof, so it can get warm in the summer, but the shelter always took care to find a solution. You are staying in the village, so you bike or drive the car to the fields, but everything else is close by. I highly recommend the swimming spot in walking distance! I got to ride one of the shelter's horses nearly everyday. Big thank you to everyone!

If you love animals and nature? This experience would be your best chance! the shelter, the host and her family were so heart-warming, friendly and nice. I felt at home away from home. Horses were gentle, as were other animals. I could be their friend easily. You can enjoy the great scenery and the fresh breeze of nature while working. Living in the French countryside and connecting with nature! 100% recommend

A great time, volunteers and family were really nice and welcoming-- would recommend! Just two things that could be improved are that it was advertised that we'd have a single room-- that was not the case. I had just one roommate but it wasn't what I expected. Also there were quite a few times where tasks were not properly explained which led there to be confusion which made us have to work more than the agreed upon 5 hours because we couldn't start without knowing the location or having the proper tools. More communication would improve it a lot. Overall, great experience!
