Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The workawayer will be part of a typical French family. During the free time, he will be able to take one car of the family to go and visit the area. Buses are also available 200m from our house. Less than 10mn by car to go to Clermont-Ferrand downtown. It takes 25mn by bus.
There is lots of things to do nearby as we live in a beautiful area (hiking, shopping, visiting...)
We will appreciate to discover the culture of our workawayer (tradition, cooking, way of life...)
Help
We are searching for a young workawayer who will help us with the household and the daily life with the children. Take the children to school, do some cleaning or cooking, ...
In one word, be part of the family.

Accommodation
We live in a big house with 4 bedrooms. One of them is free for the workawayer 2 weeks per month as Lucile lives only half time with us. For the other 2 weeks, the room will be shared by Yann or Lucile with the workawayer. We have 2 bathrooms. We also have a garden.

The house is less than 10 minutes from the center of Clermont-Ferrand. We will let you use one of our car if needed during your time off. Lots of hiking, cycling, skiing available around.

Anja was a very nice Workawayer. She was really sweet with the kids and very helpful with all the daily tasks. Always in a good mood, and very flexible. She is very good with gardening. We are very sad she had to leave to go back to Switzerland due to COVID-19... We really hope she will come back soon.
She was really part of the family and we… read more

I had such an amazing time with the family! I planned to stay with them for 10 weeks, unfortunately the coronavirus didn`t let me stay this long. In the end I had to leave after 6 weeks and I was very disappointed. The family was so nice to me. My goal was to learn the French and they all helped me a lot. Even the kids always helped me to improve… read more

I stayed 6 wonderful weeks with this incredible family. Words can not describe how happy I am that I've met them. The whole family was very kind to me and I could always talk to them if I needed something. On the first day I already felt like a part of the family.
As the parents work during the day, I brought the kids to school or the bus stop and… read more

I just spent 5 wonderful weeks with the family. I instantly felt home in the house and was accepted as a part of the family - and I really felt like a part of the family.
The work I had to do was not to exhausting and I had the opportunity to create my own schedule for the tasks that I had to do. Finally, I just tried to help like family members… read more

She hiked a lot… read more

I spent 6 weeks with Marilyn, Antoine and the children and I'm so grateful to have met them!
They are all lovely people, friendly, very respectful and the kids are well brought-up. The three children are cute on their own way: Timéo, who is calm, caring and explains to you how he solved his task in maths, Lucile who is mature, follows everything… read more

Mia is a very nice girl, always willing to help. She took care of our 3 kids during 6 weeks, helping them with their homework’s and helping a lot in (and out) the house (she managed to pull weeds all around the house but also learned how to iron shirts !). She is always happy to discover new areas (visiting CLERMONT or VICHY, going to the cinema… read more

I had a great time staying with Marilyn and Antoine and the three kids. I really felt like I was a part of the family.

Elisabeth stayed with us 3 weeks this summer. She was very helpful and nice with our 3 kids, always ready to help us. She played with the kids, took care of them. She was really like a big sister. She was really part of the family and she was very interested by the France way of life.
She was exactly what we expected as a workawayer. We have… read more
