On your days off you can visit Montauban or Toulouse, go for a hike or just spend time in their green paradise.
For me it was the perfect first workaway experience! Thank you very much for the wonderful time Paul & Yvonne, I hope to see you again. Until then, I wish you all the best!

Thea came to us for her 1st WorkAway and given that fact did really well and was very easy to host. She never complained, regardless of the rain.

I had a very good time at this farm, and a very nice first experience of workaway and traveling alone.

During our free days we went to cities nearby by train to explore new places, such as Albi and Bordeaux (Bordeaux was quite far away, but we stayed at a hotel so we had two days there). I really enjoyed the working tasks as well. We did a lot of weeding and planting, and sometimes a bit harder work, which was a great workout session! Something I’ll keep in mind for next journey is to bring better clothes, especially waterproofing jackets and pants! They also provide delicious, good and healthy food. Lettuce from their own garden and meat from their own pigs. Paul and Yvonne is very easygoing and nice people. I definitely recommend them as hosts!
