I stayed for a week with Cristophe, along with one-two other workawayers. We would usually have breakfast around 8:30 and then help hime either in the garden (but not often because it was hot) or with cleaning, organizing and cooking. Usually we would work a few hours, have lunch and rest and then sometimes do some more work in the afternoon. In… read more

Christophe is creative, kind and generous (sharing what he has). I spent 2 weeks with Christophe in Nov/Dec, so I didn't work in the garden, but I did help Christophe prepare for an art exhibit. He was very good about including me even though my French is poor. His house isn't too far from the city Millau, and the surrounding mountains are lovely.

Christophe is an incredible generous and fantastic workaway host! I had a great time staying here for one week, and will return at the end of November to help with a specific exhibition. Whilst I was there I helped install a small exhibition at the city centre gallery, and to move lots of plants indoors for the winter. The work was minimal and… read more
