Bea and Gerard are perfect hosts. If you love horses, you won't spend on working even one minute. You will just do what you love. You can learn a lot of from them, especially about driving carriages, and enjoy training with them.
Elisa and Mathilde, who are coming to the horses, will share with you a lot of positive energy and knowledge. You will

It's difficult to say how good place is it and how great people you will meet there, who become your friends forever. I already miss you all! (Of course not only people, but also horses and Ups 🥹😊) Thank you!Feedback

I just finished my short visit here. Sadly I stayed only a couple of days and I now I know, I can tell everyone who wants to visit Béatraice and Gèrald, to stay as long a possible.
To break it down: I could find everything I searched for at this place. Good cooking, learning French with patient people, visit beautiful places surrounded by
… read more nature, eat local specialties (many specialties!!!), drive the bike.
the work:
Thers simple work to do which normally would need to much time to do it by themselves/yourself, so you will be asked to do some cleaning (around the house and horses). That's it. We made many breaks, so you don't have to work for 4 hours straight.
The people:
I loved to visit Béatrice and Gèrald, as much as there friends.
Béatrice is a very strong women, who knows what she wants and what needs to be done. She's well organized and loves her land. She has a very big knowledge about French and especially about the south of French. You can see and feel the passion she's has for French, the horses, the food and her friends.
Gérald is a very easy going person, who can make you laugh and also show you some good songs from french. With his relaxed character you will quickly feel good at this place.
Together they are a very French couple, which can work good together as they complement each other well.
The friends are all very friendly and heartwarming!

Kyah is always ready to help and takes a lot of initiatives. It has been really pleasant to talk with her and make her improve her french level. She is verry serious and we can count on her to do well every task we asked her to do. She was always happy to discover and learn new things. Her help and presence were precious. Kyah is really smart and

We thank her for the month we spent together.

My time with Beatrice and Gerard was wonderful. Their hospitality is unmatched and I had an amazing experience here.
The food they provided is excellent and they took me on really fun outings and treated me like part of the family. They were very helpful to me as I am learning French and am not very good at it yet, they took time and care to

Their dog Oops is the cutest dog I've ever met and their house is beautiful. Way better than you can see from the pictures. We went riding a lot, on horses and on carriages. The trails near their house are literally magical and incredibly beautiful.
The work is really reasonable and nothing hard. Mostly light cleaning and gardening.
I would 100% recommend workawaying here. I loved my time and I thank Beatrice and Gerard for their amazing hospitality.You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
