We had a fantastic time with Anne, Laure, Lucas and Ines. They were so funny, relaxed and lovely. We met a lot of their friends, explored the region (alone and together), played many games and enjoyed a lovely birthday-weekend :)
Thanks Laure and Anne for your trust, for showing us your work, for your patience with our french, for great food and

Thanks Lucas and Ines for playing so many games with us, for showing us Lamas, for intense basketballmatches and for a joyful and breathtaking (especially at the game) birthdayparty!
We really felt welcomed and as part of the family. We are very happy to got to know this family.
It is a very beautiful and special place and we can highly recommend to go there!

We stayed with Anne, Laure and their wonderful children for a little over a week, and it was absolutely lovely. The pictures on their profile do not do justice to the beauty of their house and garden - the house is unique and creative and the garden almost fairytale-like and marvelously picturesque. Anne and Laure are hospitable and communicate
… read more really well. They were eager to show us the area and to teach us about nearby towns and local culture, including wine and food. They also brought us to a number of cozy gatherings with their many friends. The work was mainly in their garden and was relatively easy. We were also free to manage our time ourselves so that We could take days off to go to nearby cities, which are relatively easily accesible by train. We also spent some time with the children, Lucas and Inés, who are really sweet, and were taught the rules of a boardgame by Lucas, who is very extroverted and fun. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend Anne and Laure's place to anyone wanting to have an idyllic experience in the french countryside.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I spent almost two weeks at Anne and Laure’s and I had a great time. Their troglodyte house is a beautiful and a bit labyrinthine place. I had a big and quite room under the roof. What I had to do is to clean the kitchen shelves, wash the numerous windows and take care of their children during two days of their holiday and two evenings. It was a

We walked along the Loire across beautiful small villages full of history, we played games and Laure and Anne invited some charming friends for a nice party in which we ate some « fouées », a stuffed bread, specialty of the region.
Thank you the four of you for your warm welcome! I hope we’ll have the chance to meet again.Feedback

Sky is a very nice guy, It was easy to live with him during this week. He was discreet, independent and often offered to help with household chores. He speaks perfect french and is an excellent musician (thank you Sky for the piano concert !). He looked after the children during their holidays because we were working. We have nice children but

i spent a week here for my first ever workaway experience and it was nothing short of extraordinary! Anne and Laure welcomed me with open arms and always went out of their way to ask me about my life, include me in conversations and share about their life and culture. They brought me around the towns and the river whenever they could, and I even

My main task was to babysit Lucas and Inès, which was tiring but rewarding. I also helped with meals and washing up but Anne and Laure never obligated me to do so. Lucas is playful and has an amazing reserve of energy, an infectious curiosity and kind heart. Inès is shy, but infinitely adorable and knows what she wants. She also shows a more playful side of hers when Lucas is by her side.
The house is amazing and one really has to see it to appreciate how much effort has gone into it. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, and I really wish I had spent more time outside.
I could go on forever but all I really want to say is thank you, Anne and Laure, for the wonderful experience and I look forward to seeing you all again! I'd definitely recommend anyone to visit Anne and Laure to have an amazing time and short break from a city life.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I'm late to writing this but stayed with Anne and Laure for a week in the middle of July. C'était absolument parfait. I am generally a quiet guy but they both made me feel welcome from the moment Anne met me at the train station (after only a day's notice as I was looking for something last-minute). Elles m'a pris au feu d'artifice; m'a donné les

Tous sont les gens attentionnés, drôles, gentils et très intelligents. Lucas, leur fils est très énergique et j'ai aimé jouer et lire avec lui, et aussi il m'a beaucoup aidé avec ma confiance en parler français. Inès n'a pas confiance en moi, hahaha.
The work that I did, trimming some plants and helping to fill insulation in their new addition, felt hardly anything compared to what they did for me.
Merci pour tout Anne, Laure, Paul (et ta petite amie), Lucas, et bien sûr Ines. À la prochaine!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Jacob is a nice guy, a little bit shy but very pleasant. He was very interested to learn french and conscientious in the work to do. He was patient with our son who wants always play. We recommand Jacob if you want an easy and a quiet guy to host !!!

We were very happy to live with Graeme during this week.

I've been sitting here trying to put into words how grateful I am for the experience of staying with Anne and Laure. This experience was everything I was looking for from workaway, and more.
Communicating with Anne prior to my arrival was easy and efficient.

Anne and Laure gave me so many opportunities to see how the people of the Loire Valley live. We visited churches, mills, small towns, had a pizza party, drove in their really cool car and I was even invited to a neolithic pottery class that Laure hosted.
The food we ate was fresh and delicious (they even gave me the chance to cook for them).
They spoke with me in French and helped me to improve (to whatever extent I did improve)
And the children... these children are such great little people. Lucas has more energy than six people, is sweet, thoughtful, funny and kind. Ines is a little bit shy but we had so many lovely moments together - she loves to dance.
I can't say enough about these wonderful people. If you are looking for a rewarding experience, spend some time along the Loire with this family. You won't regret it.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

This was my girlfriend and I’s first workaway and we couldn’t have been luckier!!! Anne and Laure opened their home to us and really made us feel like we are part of their family.

My stay with Anne, Laure, Lucas and Ines was unbelievably wonderful! They were accomodating, generous, kind, and so much fun.

And it was fun to share my culture when I was "forced" to tap dance ;) Lucas is also a wonderful helper so if you like to have a working buddy who has never ending energy and a constant smile, this is the place! Staying with Anne and Laure was one of the absolute best times I had on my trip through Europe and I am so fortunate have had such a great first workaway experience! Missing everyone and the Fées!

Madeleine is a very kind girl, discreet et hardworker. Lucas enjoyed to have her around even if she does'nt speak french.
Dear hosts, I can recommend her to you without any doubt.
Thanks a lot Madeleine ! The best wishes from the continuation of your journey !

Anne and Laure were amazing hosts. They are incredibly generous and accomodating. I only had a short stay here to fit into my travels but I really loved staying with them, such a wonderful family. I would definitly recommend to anyone thinking of travelling to the area.
