Our stay with Ernest and Mireille has been the greatest pleasure. They live in the most beautiful place and do everything to make you feel welcome, it almost feels like visiting family. Ernest made also sure we ate lots of delicious food and they both have the greatest humor. The sweetest people who are a huge recommendation from us

It was always a pleasure to eat together, sometimes with some wine in the evening, listen to their funny storytelling and have many interesting and also personal conversations.

Also, their dogs, Basil and Stacy, are super cute and we loved spending time with them!
We would always come back to you,
thank you for having us, Mireille and Ernest!☺️
Ruta and Mine were with us for a fortnight. They worked hard in the garden and also peeled wallpaper off walls. The Lithuanian soup Ruta had made will be a recipe we will prepare more often ourselves, it was delicious. The young ladies are hard workers and mainly enjoy the outdoor work. Mine is a real go-getter and showed good project management

Vom Host für Workawayer (Elena)
When we approached Elena to join us, one of her first questions was whether there would be other Workawayers. We found Ruta and Mine who were here during the same period. Coincidentally, all the young ladies were from Germany. Elena also worked in the garden, took down wallpaper, painted and cooked with the other two ladies.

Oh I don't even know where to start! I had two wonderful weeks at Mireille and Ernest's, I couldn't have hoped for a better first Workaway experience 🥹 Ernest and Mireille are incredibly kind, peaceful, warm, open-minded and interesting people.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t very lucky with the weather, but they gave me mostly indoor tasks. They’re open to many kinds of help, which makes the experience even more enriching. Ernest is a fantastic cook and a great instructor for all things handy, thank you for teaching me basic stuff 😁 Mireille is a bubbly person, she’ll introduce you to everyone and truly rely on you, all while sharing coffee and with deep or lighthearted conversations. Their home and garden are stunning, there is everything you need to feel comfortable, with a big and beautiful outdoor space (where there is great work to do !), the cutest dogs, cat, chickens and ducks, all surrounded by the pretty bocages and forests of Normandy. I couldn’t have been luckier! Thank you both from the bottom of my heart, I really hope to see you again soon! ☺️🙏🏻Vom Host für Workawayer (Fanny)
Fanny stayed with us for a fortnight. It was an asset to host a biologist with a passion for nature inhouse. She helped us sow in the veranda/greenhouse, collect seeds from the old flowers, take a soil sample in the newly to be created vegetable garden, prune and replant willows. Fanny is a vegetarian and we spent two weeks eating vegetarian
