This was a wonderful experience and I already know that I want to return there. I was staying for 2 weeks with Brigitte and her family (at the time her son and his wife and three kids were staying at the house) and I felt welcomed from the start. It’s a family of actors and artists and the atmosphere was relaxed and often filled with fun and… read more laughter. Brigitte is a great woman and has a rich array of experiences and life stories, both of which she shares freely and often. I would describe her as a doer, someone that just does things and that’s what I learned here: there’s so much more I can create, I don’t need to learn everything beforehand, just try it out. At the same time Brigitte has a warm personality and often gives you complementing and encouraging comments, but also she (rightfully) expects you to be present in the moment of what is being worked on and also on being on time. So for me that was a great mix of someone you can learn from. But furthermore, Brigitte was always open to my ideas and that made working with her a real pleasure and great exchange! Thank you Brigitte and à bientôt!

Some practical information: we worked 5 hours a day, sometimes a bit more, usually from 9-14 (times can be discussed), then we had lunch together with Brigitte and dinner was usually at 20.30/21. The house is a beautiful villa overlooking the bay with magnificent view, we were welcome to use all the facility like pool, gym area, patio (basically it felt like being part of the family). At the time that I was there there were three other workawayers and then a friend of mine joined us spontaneously for a week. We mainly were working on wood work (building a dry toilet for example) and some stone work (extending a wall), but also gardening and when it rained we worked in the house fixing things like a chair or some tiles in the bathroom. Accommodation for me was a old camper van which I found really cozy, plus there were some stories attached from Brigitte’s life, where she had travelled with it. The others were staying in cabins on the property that Brigitte has built with other workawayers. The cabins were not insulated, so in winter this could be too cold, depending on what you are comfortable with. The property is around 200m above sea level, there is a local bus nr 24 about 10mins walk that takes you to Monaco or Menton, but it doesn’t run very often (around every 2 hrs). There’s the 100 bus, which goes for 1,50€ along the whole coast all the way to Nice, the stop is further down: it’s about 25mins downhill and 30mins uphill. It’s quite a bit of stairs when you come back home but you get used to it after a few times. But also, Brigitte drove us a couple of times to some places to and once showed us an amazing spot where you could see the whole region, just ask her :) also: she picked everyone up and brought back to the train station upon arrival/departure
