Élisa, ton énergie débordante et positive était des plus agréables. Tu as tout de suite comme fait partie de la famille. Mais c'est normal, avec le joli prénom que tu as ! Si quieres volver, sera con placer. Et en plus nous sommes sur le chemin entre Bulgarie et Espagne ! A la prochaine Elisa.

Fantastic experience here with Anne, Jerome and lovely "petit" Elise (and Taka, tu me entiendes mejor que nadie amiga). Everything was great in this amazing house, garden and surrounded area. My french, english, garden skills, baby-have-fun job, sport skills, and life is better now. Thank you again for everything.

Anne et Jerome are very buoyant, attentive and warm personalities.
It is impossible to rest uneffected by the love and kindness they spread in their house and the pleasant atmosphere they create for themselves, us as workawayers and their friends.

What an amazing time I had in burgundy. I didn't speak any French when I got there, but the welcoming atmosphere of Anne, Jerome, and all the other workaways allowed me to improve my French quite a bit in just a short time. The countryside was beautiful and the work was rewarding. Getting to see the progress of restoring old structures and… read more

I could not be more positive about my time with Anne, Jérôme and Elise and their friends on the borders of Burgundy. Their outlook on life is extremely contagious, and their warm personalities make it difficult not to become part of the family.
This family see Workaway as just the start of a real exchange, whether that be sharing cultures,… read more
