Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Anna)
Anna est une femme extraordinaire, très dynamique, toujours volontaire et curieuse de nouvelles expériences. Sa contribution à la rénovation du Château marquera 2024 comme une très belle évolution, avec une mention spéciale pour ses talents d'aménagement.

I stayed more than 4 weeks at this place and I enjoed every minute of my stay. It was fall in the SW of France and sometimes a little cold but still I could spend some good time in the sun by the pool, working in the garden and in the surrounding nature.
Alain is the best of hosts. He guided me and gave me support when needed every day through

Alain and I worked together most of the time and found out how to solve difficulties like a good team.
For me it was wonderful to take part of the french culture in this way.
Alain took me to nice markets and restaurants in and close to the village but also to see the coast and bigger cityes like Bordeax and Touloise.
Every day we had good food and wine from lokal producers and music.
I will keep my memories from this place in my heart and fore sure come back to visit or maby do another workaway here. Why not?
I recommend every guestworker to take the chance and go to this place.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

In danger of echoing the other reviews in here, I must say that my stay with Alain was absolutely incredible. He is truly the kindest, most patient and caring person, and I will never forget my stay at the chateau. The work was fun and varied, and very fair. It was a pleasure to help him at the chateau and he took me out to festivals, markets,

What a privilege to have this stay as my first workaway stay and to get to know Alain. I highly recommend to anyone, especially if you’re looking for a cultural exchange - it was a French dream in the countryside. I’m already planning my next trip. C’était trop top! B, Sofie
Sofie m'a fait passer 2 semaines inoubliables. Gentillesse, volontarisme, nous avons beaucoup travaillé ensemble dans la joie et la bonne humeur, et nous sommes aussi beaucoup sortis pour pratiquer son français...Dans tous les cas, ce n'est que du bonheur. C'est un réel privilège de pouvoir passer du temps avec elle. Je lui souhaite le meilleur

knowing Californian culture, I knew what Lacey could bring to our project. I was not deceived. What hard work! Rather worried about his health and balance. Probably one of my best life experiences in a long time. I loved the challenge.

Alain is one of the kindest people I've ever met. He is very compassionate, empathetic, and interested in various cultures. As a host, he'll treat you to delicious meals at lunch and dinner, always with wine, and if you're a late riser like myself, you'll often find local croissants for breakfast procured long before you arose. Bonus: house-made

I initially planned to stay at Alain's chateau for 3 weeks before venturing onto another workaway, but after just a week at the chateau, I knew I wanted to stay as long as I could and I changed my plans. I ended up staying just over 2 months at the chateau.
The work required at the chateau is varied, but I found most of it very enjoyable and I think Alain is very fair with his expectations. I think of the chateau, Alain, and Shere Khan almost daily. It was maybe the best summer of my life!Comentarios

Wow, your message really warmed my heart and painted an enchanting picture of your stay at the Château! It’s obvious that you had an incredibly memorable experience, filled with rich cultural immersion and meaningful connections, it was mutual.
We did many activities together, from preparing and painting the ceiling to exploring local markets,

The way you shared your experiences, including farmers' markets, outdoor picnics, live music by the canal and visits to St Emilion and Duras, only added to the enjoyment of spending time together, around breakfast or candlelit evenings by the pool. It's wonderful to have been able to share these moments of life.
Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation of the Château and its hospitality. Your words will undoubtedly inspire a wanderlust and a desire to experience Workaway at its best. I appreciated you sharing your incredible story and I hope many other travelers will have the opportunity to create their own unforgettable memories here.
I wish you new adventures and beautiful memories on your future travels!
Warmest regards,

If you want an unforgettably positive experience in which you are lodged in a fabulous suite and get to know more about the rich cultural heritage of SW France, the language, the food and the wine in the company of one of the kindest people you could ever hope to meet, then I highly recommend coming to work at the place!
Alain and his exquisite

We worked well together, prepping and painting the ceiling of the long gallery that links the kitchen to the main house, sourcing material to recover antique chairs, browsing through markets, restoring the polish to the old kitchen flagstones, picking wild plums and stewing them, all the while practising his English etc etc!
I was here with another Workawayer and Alain went out of his way to share the summer culture of farmer's markets every Wednesday evening, accompanied by an al fresco picnic with the rest of the village, listening to live bands, and more live music down by the canal at the Guingette every Friday. He also took us to St Emilion and Duras and was very knowledgeable about the wines there. I unreservedly recommend the wonderful cultural exchange that will happen if you choose to spend your time with Alain at the place.

I was lucky enough to stay with Alain and his cool cat, Shere Khan for 3 weeks in the summer of 2023. Alain constantly struck me with his kindness and generosity. The chateau is a beautiful, peaceful setting where I felt very relaxed and welcome. Work was more than fair, varied and supplemented by good music and wine. Meilhan is quite rural but
