Thankful about the most unique, lovely, life changing experience at Jean&Grant's place. They put passion in every little moment and action, bringing true love in what you do everyday.
This place is not about the "job", but about the experience, about the people u will meet and how they will be a fundamental part of the journey.
We will never

We have no words to describe our crazy experience in this beautiful place. We went with the idea of staying only two weeks at the beginning, but everything came together and we ended up with a stay of almost two months.

The work with Jean and Grant is very calm, as long as you do things with love and commitment, everything will flow in the best way. They are very calm people who know what they do, we learned a lot from them and we are very happy to know them and to be part of the logistics team of your wedding 🥰.
It is also a place where you can learn English, of the two 🤙🏼😅 David was the one who spoke the least and as the days went by 💪🏼, his listening skills improved exponentially. On the other hand we gained experience in gardening, construction, cooking, waiter work, administration among others.

An absolutely great workaway host, good people to the core! I am so grateful to Grant and Jean. I spent 10 days assisting with some building projects and I could have moved to this small town.
My accommodation was in a very nice caravan among two other caravans, creating a very nice “camp” above the restaurant. It was a great way to create a

The views, the kindness & the rewarding work were all top-tier. Not to mention the town of Aurignac is a tiny GEM!
Make sure to visit the beer garden & talk to the locals!
Thanks so much y’all!!

I had such an amazing time being able to work at Grants restaurant. he allowed me so much creativity and it was an experience of a lifetime! he was very accommodating with whatever we needed and allowed for us to create a little family with the other Workawayers.

I came into this knowing how to work in a restaurant so I have to say if one doesn't have experience and wants to work here , you must be willing to learn and take everything in! I am excited to visit next year and celebrate your wedding! cheers 🥂💕

My boyfriend and I stayed here for about two weeks. We can assure you that its a wonderful place.
From the landscape point of view it is a very beautiful place, with a view of the Pyrenees and with wonderful surroundings to explore by bicycle (which very kindly Jess and Grant lent us whenever we wanted). It is super quiet ideal to relax and
… read more appreciate all the views that this place has to offer.
Both Jess and Grant were infinitely generous at all times, we never had to worry about food and as I said before they always lent us everything they had (ping pong table, bikes, car, batminton, etc).
We slept in one of the rooms in the house with all the comforts.
Regarding work, I worked as a waitress in the restaurant and my boyfriend in the kitchen. We also take care of the garden or clean the house. Hours were always flexible and jobs varied, so we never got bored. Neither of us knew French, but that was not an impediment in the least to function at work or with the others. Although our work was not paid, at the end of each shift in the restaurant we divided the tip among everyone.
The best part however were the people we met in this experience. Grant, Jess, the kids and the other workawayers were the best of everything. We managed to make a beautiful team and make good friends.
We highly recommend this place! Do not miss it.

My stay was 2.5 weeks. Had a wonderful time here and met some fantastic people. Jess and Grant were friendly and generous, so thanks again to both of you.
It was a beautiful location and restaurant. Lovely kids and 'child care' was essentially driving them to places every so often. Able to use said car for small trips to villages and lake. Was

My main 'work' was driving, cleaning the restaurant and kitchen, and occasionally waiting tables, and weeding. It was varied enough and didn't get boring. The company of the other workawayers was the most enjoyable part.
Other comments that might be noteworthy for potential workawayers: I was housed in a caravan which was unbearable in the summer heat, but sleep was possible because the evenings cooled; I showered etc in the house; I was not offered payment for my work but the tips were split between those that worked in the restaurant on the respective days; Not much in the way of a FRENCH language exchange available apart from a few comments to customers. These points did not detract from the experience however, which I would repeat and recommend.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I recently spent 6 weeks in Aurignac with Jess, Grant and the boys and it was an absolutely brilliant experience. Everyone was very welcoming and made me feel right at home. I really enjoyed playing outside with the kids, whether that be on the trampoline, table tennis or introducing them to cricket! One of my jobs was to help in the restaurant,

The house and restaurant are in a beautiful location in the countryside with rolling hills all around and a stunning panorama of the Pyrenees on the horizon, which I was able to visit with Una and Stefanie, the two workawayers I shared this experience with and who also helped make it an amazing summer.
Thank you to the whole family for sharing your home with me!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I spent just under four weeks with Jess and Grant and it was really some of the best weeks of my life. As soon as I arrived, I was treated like part of the family. I was really happy to do any type of job they wanted me to because they were such kind people. I loved spending time with the three boys, Josh, Tyler and Zach, and also all their

At the weekends I had great fun travelling to the mountains with the other WorkAwayers, Joseph and Stefanie, and just working alongside them during the weeks was a joy. Aurignac is really a beautiful village and everyone I met on my stay were such lovely people. I never expected to have such an amazing time but I’ve made friends for life from this experience. Thank you so much Jess and Grant! PS. Their restaurant is a gorgeous restaurant with delicious food and stunning views, and I just know it is going to be super successful! xxDu kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Arnaud)
Arnaud was wonderful! Very capable warm and friendly. He was super helpful and not in a "can I help you?" Kind of way but a can-see-what-needs-to-done and just does it kind of way. He instantly became part of the family and was great with the kids. We loved having him and he is always welcome back.

So much things to say after only 2 weeks in this lovely family. It was really hard to say good bye !
Jess and Grant work with passion on their wonderful restaurant ! I made some sanding, paint, fence building and electricity connection, they are really open on the work you want to do.

I spent three weeks at Jess and Grant's house last summer and it was a beautiful experience. I collaborated in the construction of the restaurant and on very specific occasions in the house.

Emma and Jordan were like an Australian breath of fresh air coming through our little piece of France. This was their first workaway experience and we could not recommend them highly enough.

Grant and Jess were nothing short of wonderful from the moment we met them making us feel like part of the family treating us with love and respect and their kids zach, josh and tyler also welcomed us into their world by giving us tours of the local woods and thrashing us at hide and seek and football alike.
