I am so grateful to have an opportunity to live and spend a wonderful time.

My daily is helping Helene in the house, collect eggs from Chicken coop. If the weather is good, we would go for the garden and sometimes helping Brice with the sheeps. I have a chance to visit another village for the market and Brice showed me some interesting places such as the church and chateau. I love to walk in the wood and the green field around the house with Praline the funny dog on my free time. There are so many things to discover and learn. I wish to be there again to helping Helene making delicious jam and have breakfast with the family again.

The three weeks I spent in Mareuil will always remind me of a beautiful time. Brice, Hélène and their granddaughter are very welcoming, warm and great to be around.

On the weekends, we often made trips to visit beautiful and historic places, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
In addition to that, I was also able to practice my french, since Hélène and Brice were always very patient and encouraging.
Thank you so much for having me! :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Rosa is a very charming young girl.
We host her three weeks and she was full of enthusiasm every single day , willing to work and doing her best. I sometime called her " the little Mouse" as she makes no noise in the house.

I spent three beautiful weeks with Brice and Helene.
They are very kind, treat you with a lot of hospitality and are open to teach and show you as many things as possible!

The family of their son Jean was so nice and their grand children are so open-minded, well- behaved and talented so that I also really enjoyed spending some time with them.
Over all the whole farm is so beautiful and the chateau just looks very impressing!
So if you like to experience life on a little farm and getting to know the French culture, this is definitely the place.
I can really recommend staying with them and I am so thankful for everything they did for me!
Thank you very much and take care.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Workawayer (Joanna & Manuel) für Host
The time I've spent in Mareuil was probably one of the richests periods of my life in terms of new experiences and knowledges, without mentioning the cultural exchange and human connection. Brice and Hélène made me feel like home, hosting me for five weeks, during the reconfinement in France. They are kind, patience and very interesting people. I
… read more got the chance to learn so many things about gardening, cooking, taking care of the animals, living with more autonomy, and so many aspects of the french culture (specially the food, which was absolutely delicious). It was very pleasant to start the day very early and work during the morning, and having the afternoon to explore the surroundings, visiting nearby villages, or just relaxing in the house. The place is a piece of paradise.
Luckly, during my stay, there was many other family members in the house. It was a pleasure to know Brice and Helene's children and grand-children, also lovely, kind and atentive people. Also, Brice and Helene were very kind to invite me to their friend's house, it was a big privilege to get to know so many people and their homes.
I had the best time here and I would be very happy to come back any time! I wish all the best to this remarkable family!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Joanna is one of the best if not the best helper we ever had ! She is a very nice, polite and well educated person. When it comes to work, she is most reliable and fast. I would have never thought she could do all the work she did in the five weeks she stayed with us. She helped cutting trees and hedges, cleaned the gutters, was mulching branches

Good luck with your journey Joanna!

Staying at Brice and Helene's house was such a great experience to me, from the first moment I felt integrated into their family. They are warm, welcoming and so culturally responsive.

Very nice and dynamic young woman, trying her best to help and to bound with our family life.

If you like exploring you'll have a good time here since their house is located in the beautiful hills of Perigord. It's really nice for walking or choose to go upon the hill by bike and maybe see some deer.
I really liked spending time with the kids too. They are very openminded, smart and always happy to play with you if you want, if not, it's also good. Absolutely such a blessing to have them around. I will miss the easy yet productive life in Mareuil. Take care!!

I stayed almost one month with Brice and Helene and this is definitely a valuable experience for me. They are both super nice and educated people , always happy to teach me something.

The environment was like paradise, no pollution at all and I can promise you that all the food made by Helene are healthy and super delicious, she’s absolutely a decent cook! Life there is not boring at all for me, you got different work to do but totally acceptable and not heavy, different people come to visit them almost everyday, they also took me to different places at weekends even some flea market, that’s a highlight of my trip. They also offer me help without any hesitation whenever I need it. I’m sure that I’ll come back again!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

The tasks varied quite a lot, including feeding the sheep, making firewood and helping with the restoration works inside the chateau. Working with Brice and his colleague, Cedric, was very enjoyable, and I am sure I learned many useful skills. It was a real treat to watch Brice restoring violins and talking about them.
To sum up, I profited immensely from my stay in Dordogne, meeting lovely people, seeing beautiful places and learning new things. Thank you very much for all your kindness! I hope to see you soon again.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
