My time at the host was awesome! I'm really happy this was my first volunteering experience, the team is great and the group of volunteers I had the chance to meet was super nice. The project is incredibly interesting and I feel super happy to have contributed for at least a couple of days. The work is challenging but if the vibe of the group is good the time moves so quickly! Building walls is like making a 3D puzzle, fun! Much love, Flor

The best experience of my life. My first volunteering and recommended to everyone, what an amazing place, sensational people. Suzy and Sam literally make you feel part of the family and the place. People from all countries gathered always in connection with nature, respecting and sharing their cultures. I will definitely be back! The love that is in that place is indescribable, everyone is amazing, each one with their own particularity but always with respect and love for others. I recommend it to everyone, please go live the best experience of your lives. Love you all and thanks again!

The host was my first volunteer exchange and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the second I arrived I felt welcome and appreciated, and all of the staff and volunteers were wonderful. Sam and his sister Suzie are some of the most positive and friendly people I have ever met and are super passionate about their father's vision. Mark is an excellent cook and Jim is an incredibly knowledgable, friendly and open minded individual. There is always food, clean running water, toilet facilities and great company. Thank you all for an unforgettable 3 weeks!

This was my first experience as a volunteer, and it has been far above my expectations. the host is an amazingly ambitious project that brings together people from all around the world. I've learnt how to build a wall, carve the stone and even drive a tractor! I met people whom I never forget and that made me feel part of a big family. The only suggestion I would like to make would be the overall hygiene condition of the dorm and the canteen. Small habits and little rules can make a huge difference! Thank you Sam, Jim, Mark and Suzie. You are the best :)

I agree with your comment about canteen and dorm, the rules are in place, volunteers need to follow them. I do remind volunteers on occasion.

An unforgettable experience. Being in the host is like being with family, Susy as coordinator of events and tourist places is incredible, she always sees that you feel comfortable, she is always aware of even the smallest detail. Jim is the one who will support you throughout the construction process, with a lot of patience and a lot of fun, P.S. things that make him very happy is the food. Marck is the star chef of that place, he enjoys cooking and loves what he does, without a doubt it shows in the taste of his dishes, I hope that one day he will take out his recipe book.

I had a really great and fun time in the host! Everyone treated me like family and I felt very at peace and comfortable. It was a very rewarding experience because I got to help them in my craft which is Social Media & Marketing, so I was really passionate about the job and the project! I met many wonderful people from around the world and had a great time getting to know this region of France and practising my French! I definitely want to come back in the future and see how this amazing project is developing and growing. Thank you, Sam, Jim, Mark, Suzy and everyone in the host team!

When I signed up for Worldpackers, this is the kind of place I was hoping to come across. Everyone was so welcoming and warm, and I felt very safe and comfortable here. The work was challenging but very rewarding. I learned a lot about masonry and living a different kind of lifestyle than I am used to. I am so happy I decided to apply to work here. I met so many people from all over the world. I hope to come back in the future and bring friends and family to show them what I was apart of. Thank you Don for having this dream and making this possible!

My time at the host was just amazing! Everyone is so welcoming and I learnt so many new skills. The location is a dream and the trip felt too short. I'd definitely recommend this for first time Worldpackers volunteers. I'll be back for sure. Special thanks to Suzie for being so accommodating and kind :)

I spent 10 days in the French countryside with an amazing crew of volunteers and hosts. I learned how to build walls in granite and did a bunch of moving rocks with the small tractor and by hand. In the evenings and weekends, there is the possibility of learning to carve stones, create things in metal in the forge or just relax and enjoy nature and the very clear night skies. It is hard to build with rocks, but it has been extremely satisfying. And the energy and motivation from Sam, Suzi, Mark and Jim is fantastic. Will definitely visit again!
