The Experience

Hello and welcome to La Casa des Madeleines Farm ! We’re a small, eco-conscious project nestled in the hills of the French Riviera—a peaceful and creative space surrounded by olive trees, lavender, sunshine, and birdsong. We’re looking for kind and motivated volunteers to help us with day-to-day tasks and share in the rhythm of simple, nature-based living. We have a restaurant, vegetable garden in permaculture and ecolodges on the property.

I loved my stay! Emine, Thomas and Pierre were very welcoming and generous hosts and lovely to talk to (and made great food). Most days involved gardening (weeding, planting, watering) and another task like shelling nuts or painting. We had 2 days off a week and there were great places to explore nearby. The local town was closer than we expected, a 15 minute walk, with a great boulangerie. Also, there was a very cute and cuddly cat named Seed! We learnt about permaculture and farm maintenance/design but not a lot about local culture as it's quite isolated. Would recommend!!

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our time at Casa, we got really involved in all the tasks and enjoyed all of the facilities at the property. I specifically enjoyed the maintenance and building tasks we were given, contributing to the growth of the eco farm. The hours were really flexible and the meals were delicious and healthy. The hosts were a joy to be around, I really recommend this opportunity to other travellers Big thanks to Thom, Emine and Pierre for making our stay so enjoyable.

My boyfriend and I spent just under 3 weeks at Casa for our first Worldpackers experience and loved it! We mainly helped with repairs, which was really rewarding. The property is beautiful, surrounded by nature and animals, and close to Saint Jeannet, a supermarket, hikes, and waterfalls. Public transport to nearby towns is easy too. The home-cooked lunches were always delicious and healthy, as well as the ingredient baskets with fresh veggies for breakfast and dinner. The hosts Emine, Thom, and Pierre were wonderful and always made sure we were happy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Thom, Emine, and Pierre are wonderful hosts and made for an unforgettable experience. They are fair, generous, and friendly. The exchange was honored exactly as we agreed upon, and I hold no reservations. The only note for future travelers I have is that as I was not accustomed to the (very healthy and delicious) vegan diet they provide, I did spend more on some supplemental protein than I thought I would. Overall this was my best Worldpackers experience to date and I would welcome the opportunity to work with them in the future.

This was my first experience as a Worldpackers, and I have to say they put me at ease instantly. Emine, Thomas, Pierre and Isabella are 4 incredibly welcoming individuals that teached me skills about living sustainably. There are definitely some concepts that I will bring with me along my journey! I spent a week there and the meals were amazing, the scenery was impressive and the ambiance with the hosts was warm and sincere. I truly appreciated my week there, felt like a retreat up in the mountains but close to the sea:) Would 100% recommend! Merci beaucoup pour la belle semaine!:)
