Informationen
Beschreibung
Smallholding in central France, there's a huge garden to tend, woods to manage and animals to tend. The garden is organic, so plenty of weeding required! Also some building work is going on, so if you're handy with a saw, screwdriver and a paintbrush, even better! At present we are trying to restore the woods to their natural state.

Paolo has been a great help and always with a smile. He did not only do what we asked but offered his help whenever there was a lull. We like him a lot and hope he'll return sometime!

Luis is an excellent helper, he is always happy to do whatever is required and made us some very nice meals as well. He is probably the hardest worker we've ever had from Workaway!
He is good company and a board games freak - we like that! So if Luis proposes to come to your place, do not hesitate to say YES!
Muchas gracias, Luis, y buen viaje.… read more

I spent a month and so and from the beginning was different than others places that I have visited, Janita and Pete know how to let you feel in home, I could enjoy the peaceful of the countryside and the hard (but very fun for me) working in a farm.

My stay with Janita and Pete was very special. I loved spending time weeding and planting in the garden and making and sharing vegetarian meals. I was also lucky enough to coincide with cherry and raspberry season which was pure delight. Janita and Pete are both genuinely good, kind people and ask wonderful questions. We had many stimulating… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Beverley)
Beverley is very helpful and pleasant company too! She is a proficient weeder (particularly welcome in June, when weeds attempt and often do take control) and also a splendid cook. She is good at seeing what's needed and at getting it done and is a really beautiful humane being. We will miss her very much!

I stayed there for 2 weeks, i really enjoyed the time in this beautiful place!
I really liked playing table games and I had a lot of laughs!
The only "negative" thing is that you're not near the city and there are no public transport, so is not that easy to reach the city center.
I'll miss you, hope you'll have good times there. Bye 👋

I had a wonderful time at Janita and Pete’s and their beautiful farm. They and their family are incredibly nice, welcoming and interesting people. Working in the garden and painting window sills was de-stressing and enjoyable, as was the evenings with boardgames. From the several interesting conversations, I also learned more about French and… read more

We spent 10 mainly rainy days in start of June at Janita and Pete's beautiful place. On one good day we went to get wood with the tractor, one day we put in windows, the rest of the time worked in the garden, weeding, cutting bamboo or covering potato plants.

We stayed with Janita in her lovely and peaceful place in the Auvergne and it was a wonderful time. It was a pleasure to help doing some weeding in the garden and digging out onions and potatoes. and drinking tea in the evening while playing board games. Janita is a lovely host a very interesting and kind person.
