Description
We are a couple from Switzerland, in our mid-sixties, who lived in the US for over 20 years. Before we moved to France in 2020 to St. Julien Le Pelerin, a little village in the region Correze, we hosted 'Workaway' guests in our home in Vermont, USA for many years.

We are well-traveled and easy-going outdoor people, who have a big heart for animals and care for our dog and two horses. The location of our home is about 20 minutes from Argantat and 30 minutes from Aurillac. The nearest village, Gulle is about 8 minutes by car but the town doesn't offer much in terms of culture, there is only one restaurant and a small grocery shop. However, the region has a lot to offer for bikers or hikers, with the Dordogne and scenic landscape along the river.

Anik was our first ‘workaway’ guest since we moved to France and we truly enjoyed her company. She stayed with us for 4 weeks and helped in the garden, mainly weeding the flower beds, and did chores for our horses. When she was not able to work outside, due to bad weather, Anik also helped in the house, cleaning windows or vacuuming. Anik is a… read more

We had Blanaid staying with us for only for 4 days and wished she could have spent more time at our place.

She helped in the garden and always asked if there is something else to do, in a pro-active manner. Blanaid has a… read more

Civil, courteous, respectful, considerate, and extremely kind, Judith and Peter are exemplary hosts. I was given a cozy and spacious bedroom and bathroom with lots of respect to my privacy. They gave me the seat at the dining table with the best view of the lake and mountains, and the coziest chair by the fireplace to read. They drove me around to… read more

Issy stayed with us for a bit more than three weeks in July. We learned to know her as a lovely young woman with excellent work ethics. All the chores she was given she handled with great care and a good sense of detail. Her main work was weeding which Issy did with a lot of patience, not giving the weeds much chance to stay in the soil.

“Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.” This best describes what Donna did during the 5 week ‘workaway’ with us. Donna took a sabbatical from her business to spend time exploring new places and surroundings. Thus she was looking into a workaway stay with us. Donna was a great help in the garden and house, always with a… read more

Paul could only stay with us for 5 days due to a schedule conflict and his family commitments. However, we got to know Paul even in this short period of time and enjoyed his company. He helped in the garden and stacking wood away and did what he was asked for with perfection. Paul openly stated that he has a mild form of Asperger’s syndrome, which… read more
