Thierry and his family are great! I really really enjoyed the opportunity to join them in Paris and Cabourg and I had delicious food, great evenings in the garden and a lot of baguette, which I already miss a lot. Thanks a lot for your welcoming hospitality and the unique way I was welcomed! All the best to you and your family!

Mario est très agréable, souriant et a un grand sens de l'humour.
Il nous a bien aidé à l'organisation d'une grande fête familiale et nous a fait une excellente paella géante !
Super Mario, super merci !

As my first workaway experience I could not have asked for a better host! Thierry and his family were very welcoming and I got to practice my french considerably! I got to visit Cabourg where I learnt plenty of DIY tricks and skills while helping Thierry with his house renovation and gardening. Got to try different types of french cheeses and… read more

I stayed three weeks with Thierry and his family in both Chaville (which is halfway between Paris & Versailles) & Cabourg (in Normandy). They are extremely relaxed hosts that offer simple & flexible jobs and hours. The meals they provided were delicious and I've definitely gotten to know french cheese very well (no complaints about that haha).… read more

I was hosted by Thierry and his wonderful family for 2 weeks. I had the opportunnity to share fun moments and really (really) good French meals!

Great experience! There is a lot of positive things related to this host, but I will try to be shorter as I can. Very easygoing, communicative and friendly host!

Thierry was an awesome host, and so was the whole Alberge family! I felt cared for and in the presence of friends the moment I entered their beautiful home. I ate better than I think I've ever eaten living in charming and accessible Chaville. Going to Paris and Versailles was easy and super fun! The Alberge's were very helpful with any and all… read more

I came to work for Thierry at very short notice and he was very kind in allowing me to come when I needed to. The work was reasonable and I enjoyed learning new tricks from Thierry who was happy to let me try new things within reason. He is direct in his instructions but knows how to have a good laugh. I really got a feel for French food and I now… read more
