Tilda we miss you ! Thank you so much for all your enthusiasm, hard work, energy, smile and willingness to get involved and do anything that was asked of you.

Thank you so much to Alex, Mark and all the team for such an amazing experience. I spent six weeks here at the start of the autumn season and I absolutely loved it.

I found the work varied and interesting and I learnt so much. As well as doing lots of different activities with the English kids who arrive for school trips, I also had the opportunity to engage in the local community by helping to run the English club in the local primary school and attending events like the apéro polyglotte evening. I had lots of opportunities to speak French in everyday life and everyone was very patient and helpful, so my French improved a lot. All in all, it was such a great opportunity and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone reading this page!

Alex and Mark… what can I say?! This is a truly special place and I would urge anyone lucky enough to have stumbled upon this workaway page to grab this brilliant opportunity with both hands. It was absolutely everything I was searching for and more- I had so many chances to speak French authentically in everyday life, the work itself was so much

Merci mille fois Alex, Mark, Maroua, Violaine, Gabriel, Evie and others for the most incredible two months in a very very special place, I hope to see you all again soon!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Wow, amazing, brilliant, fabulous ... all the best adjectives !!!

I was an assistant here for close to 2 months leading up to the end of their summer season, June to July 2019. Alex and Mark offer a lot of flexibility on start dates which is very helpful for a summer placement. You will work as part of a small team of UK assistants, supporting the native French teachers/ activity leaders. There is a very
… read more friendly atmosphere in the centre and I found there to be a strong sense of camaraderie among the members of staff as everybody is working very hard to run the activities and meal times to a high standard.
The day typically starts at 8am and ends at 9pm, although you may have some breaks within this time, and a good part of the weekend is dedicated to the changeover tasks before the next school arrives. As such, high levels of stamina are a must for this placement! However, working with the children that arrive from the UK each week makes for a rewarding and exciting week. The activities are varied and include archery, kayaking, making mosaiques, baking, theatre, and excursions to nearby towns. If you already have a high level of French, although you'll be using some French with the children, the best opportunity to improve your French level is by interacting with the French-speaking staff, especially during your off time. During my 2 months on placement I became good friends with many of the staff and am still in contact with a few of them 5 months on! Thank you Alex and Mark for my experience.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

This was an absolutely amazing opportunity for me, and I am really grateful to Alex and Mark for allowing me to take it. I stayed here from 3 months, in which time my French improved immensely.
If you like rural France and Burgundy's rich cities, this is absolutely the place to be. Going on lots of visits to several beautiful locations like

In terms of the work, it is incredibly rewarding and really fun! Alex and Mark have really done a wonderful job at setting up this establishment, both for the staff and for the children, that makes amazing memories for everyone involved. They support both the staff and the students to really get the most out of every minute of being there - "an extremely impressive display of passion" are the words I would use to describe the whole experience.
In terms of a Workaway experience, it was also amazing. The accomodation is really practical, as not only is it right on site, but you will live with French teachers, allowing your French to really blossom! Living with the other staff is also so much like a little family, especially when everyone is so friendly. Being provided 3 lovely meals every working day by the marvellous chef David was such a treat, too!
I learnt so much about myself and about France and French life while I was here. I will surely never forget my time here - thank you!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Sinead is a lovely young woman who has great energy and enthusiasm for life that is infectious and very engaging.

I don't know if there are words to describe how wonderful this place is, I had no idea that working here would mean becoming part of one of the greatest little families, but you do definitly become a little family.

The food was great, the accommodation was lovely- it was hard to say goodbye to our little home. In all I think when you're so sad to leave somewhere that you decide you have to return, its a sign of how amazing it is!! Thank so much mark and alex, for the friends, the memories and the endless laughter! Bisous et à toute à l'heure! xxxSó é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Hannah was a fantastic person to work with.

Our own lives and those of the many young people who visited us in the summer of 2016 benefitted without doubt from her coming to us for which we are very grateful. We look forward to seeing you again very soon Hannah .... lots of love Mark and Alex.

What a truly lovely young person Hannah is. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she approached everything we asked of her with a smile and a positive attitude.

Volunteering in this place was a wonderful experience for me. I cannot praise the work Alex and Mark have done highly enough. I met some real friends here, everyone is lovely, welcoming, and there is a generally a very warm feel about the place. I found the work tiring, but rewarding and enjoyable nonetheless. In conclusion, I would highly
