Descripción
Fifteen years ago, I left the heart of Amsterdam to go live in the French countryside. The number of inhabitants of the moulin varies from one to twenty (family, guests, pilgrims, volunteers).

Our place does not go unnoticed in Burgundy. The picturesque balconies, 1.7 hectares of land, set apart by a gentle river, its own water source, and an organic herb and vegetable garden all come together to create a harmonious cinematic setting.

Situated in rural Nièvre, valley of the Beuvron, alongside the river Beuvron, the former watermill offers a quiet atmosphere, where concentration and relaxation can be alternated in order to reach thorough productivity.

Algo más...
If eventually you tire of swimming and reading (in a hammock in the shade, on the balcony with a glass wine, or in front of the fireplace with a hot chocolate), there is still much to discover in the surrounding area.

Closest train station is 10 km away (Clamecy).

Being a bit late with my review..
It was a great experience having Julie and David here ! I had no idea that together, they have got so many talents !
In cooking, serving (and having conversations with clients), cleaning (!), painting, sorting out, always prepared to learn or to find out new skills. They really take responsibility and are very… read more

Weeks after leaving the Moulin, I'm still smiling and recounting the laughs that I had with Gilberthe! Such an amazing woman, a cross between Siddhartha and Ab Fab!
Her house is such a special place, the pictures really don't do it any justice, a haven of tranquility in the heart of Burgundy.
My room was beautiful and breakfast was accompanied… read more

My first workaway experience was great and my expectations really were exceeded!
I had wonderful two weeks in august with Gilberthe. She`s a warm person and I felt very comfortable around her from the beginning. I could choose the tasks that I enjoyed most and I neither felt overburdened nor bored. It was a perfect mixture of life and work! The… read more

It's already one year ago that Pieter spent some weeks with us and it was such a pleasant experience! Not only that Pieter liked every kind of job but his whole character is one of being curious for almost everything, I cannot think of something not interesting him. And that's so inspiring for everybody. Yeah, a talent for making pictures for… read more

My first Workaway experience consisted of two weeks at the Moulin, and I had a really good time there. Gilberthe and Driss made me feel very welcome from the start and they were very nice people to spend time with. The food was really good, and I am certainly going to miss the freshly baked bread in the morning! Since there were not so many guests… read more

Our stay with Gilberthe and her family was to say at the least excellent, Mick helped in the garden shifting and stacking wood, and I helped in the house, cleaning and cooking. Aplying my newly learned skills that I aquired, from our last workaway hosts, Nigel and Renée. Gilberthe, is a very warm and friendly person , very appreciate of every… read more

Only got to spend a few days with Gilberthe, Driss and Rolf but I had such a good time. The B&B is great but can be a bit cold. Very nice (and big) rooms and great food. The work for me consisted of garden work outside and setting up there greenhouse (just not the plastic). Gil is really artistic which makes her a bit chaotic at times but is so… read more

My 4 weeks with Gil, Driss and Paul made the Moulin feel like a second home. They are truly amazing people and I never felt overworked or bored. Definitely going to cherish the memories! I leave them in charge of the 'party zone' and sourdough :)

Jake became a member of our family and I can highly recommend him to other hosts.
He is hardworking and serious, but at the same time relaxed and taking initiative.
He is a good singer and guitar player, that was an extra surprise.

My first workaway experience and it was great. Driss and Gil were so kind and patience. There's a lot of beautiful places arround there and you meet a lot of people who stay the night there. It makes you feel you are home all time. If you have the choice to go there, just do it ¡¡¡

Couldn't have asked for more during my time at Gilberthe and Driss'. Had initially planned to stay for 2 weeks but ended up staying for more than a month. They are very caring, friendly and lovely people and very quickly, made me feel at home and at ease there. Very encouraging and open to letting me try new things, I've learnt and experienced a… read more

My first workaway experience could not have been a better one. Gilberthe and Driss are now two of my favorite people, and after only two weeks I feel like they are family! I was always doing something interesting for work, frequently went on excursions to different towns and really experienced the culture there. Their knowledge of the land and… read more
