I am very happy the ten days spent with Eric and Magali shaped my first experience in the Bretagne. I can only support what others here have shared already. So I will just leave some impressions: arrival with palm trees and view over the vast riverbed of the Trieux, eating oysters, snails and other (more regular) delicacies together, finding inner
… read more peace while cutting plants, forgetting time on mystical coastal walks, being part of a lively French family dinner, having a beer in good company during a concert in Kermouster with ocean views, listening to Erics fascinating stories about his life in La Gomera and other anecdotes, improving my French talking with Magali, hanging out with the cats and goats, simply enjoying the atmosphere of this nature jewel while soaking up Breton vibes ...
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity and the time spent together, your openness, hospitality and support (e.g. in finding the ingredients to cook Wiener Schnitzel :) )
Wishing you all the best for yourselves your project in making this place even more marvelous and hopefully see you again!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Magali and Eric are extremely kind and welcoming hosts, making sure we're feeling at home and getting out of their way to show us around to the nicest places in the area and make us discover local cuisine.
The work was fun, and both Eric and Magali made sure it wasn't too much and we were enjoying it.

Magali and Eric are very generous hosts, they live in a beautiful part of Brittany, in the nature, away from the crowds. It's a very peaceful place, next to the forest and the river, an ideal place to disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature. I stayed with them for about 3 weeks and didn't feel like leaving. From the very first day,
… read more they treated me as part of the family, we always had all meals together, and nice conversations at the dinner table (Eric has lots of stories to tell from his travels and he always kept us entertained). Magali was a very good cook and we had good food made from local fresh ingredients. This was really the highlight of my stay here. We also had barbecue nights and crepe nights. I met many of the friends and family of Eric and Magali and other interesting people from the region, learned a lot about the local culture and way of life. An important part of this farm are the 2 peacocks and the 2 goats who always follow you everywhere.
The work included gardening, weeding, a bit of construction work around the house, building sheds, fences and other maintenance jobs. They were very flexible about the schedule as long as each of us did the minimum required hours per week. I could choose 2 days off during the week. During the off days, I could visit nearby towns and do some hiking and swimming. Both Magali and Eric were happy to drop me off to interesting places to visit and pick me up later. It's also possible to hitch a ride on the road in case you don't have your own transport. There are many places to visit, including the Chateau close to their place and the abbey near Paimpol, the whole coast is very beautiful, with hiking trails along the coast and several beaches where you can swim on high tide.
C'était une expérience géniale et enrichissante. Merci pour tous, Magali et Eric!Dieser Workawayer hat sich dafür entschieden, sein Profil privat zu schalten, kann aber von anderen Workawayern bezüglich dieses Feedbacks kontaktiert werden.

What a fabulous time with Eric and Magali! I hope you are lucky to enjoy some workaway time with these guys as it will be an experience to treasure. Everything is great, their friendliness, their environment, their hospitality....the food!!!.....meeting their mates and of course the goats. Most of all this is a respectful living space where you

We had our own van but the caravans are very cute and with lots of personal space, and as earlier suggested...the food was super plentiful, healthy and delicious. Eating together and socialising is very much a part of this workaway. Will not forget our time here.

I stayed for almost three weeks and was very happy to have the opportunity to come to this little paradise, surrounded by nature and animals. It was nice to be woken up to the sound of birds, by the way, the call of the peacock is very impressive.
It's nice to always be with other people at work and not be alone. Having a beer together after work
… read more is an unforgettable memory. I know I don't talk much, but I really value the time I spend with everyone.
Because Brittany is so beautiful, I decided to take a short trip around this region, and thank you for your support, providing me with a sleeping bag and storing my luggage.
It was a great experience with Magali and Eric and I really felt the warmth and sincerity of the people of Breton. Definitely recommend this place to others, I hope you cherish and enjoy everything there.
I'll go back, à bientôt et kenavo !Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I was lucky enough to spend 2 weeks in this little paradise in Bretagne ! Eric and Magali are a lovely couple: warm-hearted, generous and relaxed, they always make you feel welcome in their home. I also got to meet lots of their friends from the area and was included in their lives so that I was never bored.

The house itself was also incredible, with its goats and peacocks and access to a little beach on the river Trieux, wonderful for swimming . Coming from the city it was completely refreshing to be in such a peaceful, natural space.
Would highly recommend for those interested in a cultural exchange and an openness of spirit— thank you very much Eric and Magali !

I stayed 8 days with Magali, Eric and Jimmy and really did enjoy this workaway experience.

I spent a lovely week at Eric's and Magali's place! They are very laid-back and hospitable people.
I arrived on Monday in the evening. I worked for 4-5 hours / day on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. On Saturday I had a day off, and on Sunday I left. The work was physically a bit intense but I really enjoyed it. We stacked firewood, cut &
… read more moved holly branches and worked in the garden. I recommend that you bring good working clothes and boots :)
After work, we either went to a beach, went to see some friends in the nearby villages or ate together with some friends at Eric's and Magali's place. I'm very thankful for how they included me in their life and showed me all the great beaches and villages! I also liked how almost every day some neighbors, family members or friends dropped by to say hello.
I stayed in a small caravan that was very cute. There was no electricity, so they lent me a rechargeable lamp that I always took to the house to be charged during the day. I also charged my phone in the house. I'm not sure if there is a wifi connection. I used roaming and it was okay depending on where I was. Inside the house it didn't really work, though. But I think that it was a nice vacation from using the internet too much :)
Communication was easy and they were very chill :) I wanted to practice my French so we spoke mostly in French, but some basic things could be communicated in English as well if I didn't understand them in French.
They cooked really good food that I really enjoyed! I wished to eat vegetarian food and that was not a problem either :)
Thank you for all Magali and Eric & I hope to see you in the future if I'm able to visit Bretagne again! <3Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Magali and Eric are one of the best couple you can stay with. They shared every single thing they can to make you feel confortable. They are living in a little paradise where you can find cute animals and direct access to Le trieux (peaceful river and beautiful sunset).
You will work mostly with Eric during the day renovating the house,

During your free time, they are lot of thing to do around (visiting Kermouster beach, Paimpol, the Castle ...). It was such a great time sharing visit with them too! Also the delicious meals :)
It was my first wwoofing experience in my own country but I still had lot of thing to learn about Magali and Eric live styles, their history and Bretagne culture. I spend 1 week and a half with them. It was too short for me to learn and share everything I would with this lovely couple. I will definitely come back somewhen!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I spent three weeks at Erik and Magali. It is a very big and really nice place with all sorts of friendly animals (and Gustav) and even a private beach! The surrounding area is very nice to hike through as well. It's great if you like nature.
I liked working on some of the building projects with Erik very much; he has a lot of knowledge about it

Lastly I'd like to say that on several occasions, friends of Eric and Magali came over and we had some really nice evenings with great food and nice conversations. I thought it was very nice to be a part of that. Thank you!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

The food was plentiful, tasty and freshly prepared, which is of great credit to magali as she works full time, we often had their friends over and ate some incredible meals (foraged palourde clams with linguini in cream sauce was one highlight, it doesn't get much better than this for me)
I have to mention that I felt really lucky to be involved here, I was invited to events at their friends houses, shown around an incredible private island estate and we even helped to catch django the donkey and transport him here, an experience I won't forget in a hurry!
Thanks guys, I'll return one day and finish the roof if you haven't already X

I had a great time with Magali & Erik!!!! Their friendlyness, their sense of humor as well as their way of life made it very hard for me to leave!

Magali also took me to several markets and beaches of the area and well as to a music festival. Also there are a lot of neighbors and friends coming by to say hello, help and have a drink almost every day. It never got boring or lonely!
Since Magali & Erik live at the house they are renovating everything is still quite simple, but clean and well equipped with everything that is needed for a comfortable live. The caravan for the workawayers is also very cosy and comfortable.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
