    Description

    Workawayers will not be asked to assist with any profit generating activities, paying guests, or areas used by paying guests.

    Bonjour! We are Dana, Midas and baby Leo. We are a Dutch family living on a beautiful glamping in the heart of France. Together we with two friends, we run Domaine. A nature estate with sleeping accommodations, daily view on wide open skies (even at night, when you can see every star of the milky way), lots of animals, wildflowers and a peaceful rhythm. At Domaine, people come together to reconnect with nature, themselves and with each other.

    Our little boy Leo was born in April 2025. He’s always laughing, alert and loves to be part of daily life. His day is fine, if he can just hang out with us. We raise him close to nature, in a warm, loving and gentle way.

    We live in a small house on the domaine. Most days, we’re outside. We are working with our hands, cooking, welcoming guests, or simply sipping a coffee on one of the green spots on the domaine. Our lifestyle is simple, joyful and connected.

    🌻 What we offer
    • A cozy and friendly place to stay in the heart of nature
    • Shared meals with fresh, local ingredients (from our own vegetable garden)
    • Time to rest, read, explore the area, or join in on one of our creative projects
    • Language exchange, cultural immersion, slow living

    You’ll have your own space (an accommodation, depending on what’s free), shared or own bathroom and all meals included. We’re happy to show you around the region, take you to the local market, or simply share stories by the fire. We have some amazing marshmallows!

    🌍 Important notes
    • We prefer someone with experience, a gentle, intuitive approach to children and
    • English, French or Dutch spoken
    • No smoking, no parties – just peaceful countryside living
    • Minimum stay: 3 weeks (but longer is always welcome)

    ✨ If you’re someone who loves happy babies, nature and meaningful connection, we’d love to welcome you into our little world

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here life flows slowly. We love sharing not just our space, but our way of life. Grounded, creative and close to nature.

    You’ll be part of our little community, which includes our family, (seasonal) team members, volunteers and local friends who drop by for a coffee, campfire or a shared meal. In summer, the domaine is buzzing with guests, music, outdoor dinners and laughter under the stars. You’re always welcome to join.

    As a host family, we enjoy exchanging stories, languages and ideas. We can share skills like:
    • Cooking with fresh, local produce
    • Hosting and creating a soulful hospitality experience
    • Gardening and life in rhythm with the land
    • A gentle, intuitive approach to parenting and living simply with a baby

    What we hope to learn? Everything you bring. Whether it’s a new song, a family recipe, a fresh perspective, or just your unique energy. Hosting people from different cultures deepens our sense of connection and reminds us that even in our quiet corner of France, the world is wide and full of beauty.
