This was an especially enjoyable Workaway. Stan and his family made me feel welcome, plus got to practice my French and culinary skills. Stan made use of my artistic talent, experimenting with special plaster. It was a real challenge, Stan's faith in my ability made all the difference. This is an assignment I would gladly return to.

Stan is a great host! He and his sister Marie-Elize welcomed us really well. Unfortunately, Marie-Elize went back to Paris next day. When we arrived our car was a bit broken and Stan was super helpful with it. He didn't give us any real task until he found how to fix the car. Since we don't speak French, it would be incredibly hard for us to… read more

We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. We knew before… read more
