My first workaway experience: great!
Patrick is a very kind and helpful host, the work is not difficult, but is not for lazy people. The accomodation is comfortable and the B&B is nice, the view from the terrace is stunning.
Carcassonne is a small town, but you can explore some cities in the neighbourhood.
