Le travail était avec son fils Paco dans une maison pour la réhabilitation , Dur et silencieux mais acceptable.

Je suis très satisfait de l’expérience et j’espère répéter.
Merci beaucoup pour Tout Liz !

My stay at Liz and Pierre's was truly delightful, aligning perfectly with everything they had described in their profile.

Their wealth of experience with Workaway was evident, making my integration seamless. The tasks primarily centered on household chores, especially organizing kitchen cabinets. I stayed in Nonta's bedroom (their daughter), which provided comfort and privacy during my stay. The accessibility to the downstairs bathroom, almost exclusively for my use, added to the convenience.
Pierre, being retired, generously lent his time for delightful conversations, helping me improve my French—a gesture I truly appreciated. Liz conversed with me in French, despite her native English, fostering an immersive language experience.
Although my stay was brief, the warmth of Liz and Pierre's hospitality made it feel like a home away from home. Their genuine care turned my stay into a comfortable and memorable experience. It was a pleasure to be embraced by their warmth, generosity and hospitality throughout.
I highly recommend Liz and Pierre's place to everyone!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Pete was very pleasant and easy to have around, as well as being very helpful for most of the tasks we requested him to do; he did them willingly and thoroughly, and was thoughtful and proactive.

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Peter) para o anfitrião
I stayed with Liz and Pierre for just under two months and they were so kind, welcoming and generous, I would recommend them as hosts to anyone thinking of sending them a request!
When Liz and Pierre picked me up from the station late in the evening on my arrival, I knew I was in good hands and would be treated well throughout my stay.
The room
… read more I was provided was warm and comfortable, with a desk available so I was able to continue online teaching in the evenings during my stay (thanks again for the ring light Liz!).
L & P were attentive to my particular dietary needs (veganism - a rare thing in France), providing high quality, organic food everyday. They also provided some money toward my increasingly serious French bread habit! Throughout the week and when I was around on the weekend we would all have meals together, which was new to me, but I think a healthy and beneficial experience more of us should be able to enjoy on a daily basis. Given Liz and Pierre are both people with a wide breadth of knowledge on myriad topics, our meal times, and chats in general, were stimulating and enjoyable.
The work was all very straightforward and flexible around my needs and abilities - mainly cleaning, tidying, cooking and a few other things like painting outdoor furniture and varnishing. It only ever took a few hours a day maximum and Liz always made it clear that I could take time off if I ever wanted to and make up the hours on another day which was really appreciated. Both were also very understanding towards the end of my stay when an injury began to flair up, making lifting things more difficult.
I should also say it's incredibly easy to get into Lyon from Liz and Pierre's place via bus or metro. This was a really great aspect for someone like myself who has often struggled with the idea of Workaway as many hosts seem to be in more remote locations and I'm very much a city slicker. However, one regret I have about my stay is spending as much time as I did in the city, especially in the first few weeks, which I feel meant I didn't spend as much quality time with Liz and Pierre as I may have otherwise done so.
I especially wish I'd taken more of the opportunity to draw on Liz's knowledge of mindfulness and meditation practice. I have met many people down the years who practice meditation and similar, but Liz is one of the very few who actually embodies a sense of calm and balance taught in these approaches. As someone who can be easily anxious and stressed, just being around Liz made me feel more at ease.
In my last couple of weeks during my stay I was dealing with some personal issues and both Liz and Pierre were both very understanding and patient and I felt completely able to talk to them openly without fear of judgement.
Thank you again Liz and Pierre for welcoming me into your lovely home, feeding me healthy and tasty food, being fair about the amount of work you expected from me, allowing me freedom to spend my free time however I pleased. You are both kind souls and I wish you all the best in the future and hope we can stay in touch and see each other again someday!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

I stayed with Liz and Pierre for 1 week in their nice house close to Lyon. I helped Liz with SEO and promotion of her meditation website.

The food was very delicious as well! You can hear the birds singing every day in the garden.

I learned a lot about meditation and mindfulness from Liz and exchanged a lot with Pierre about history, politics, culture and food. Their son is also very knowledgeable and interesting person to talk to. I just wish I could stay longer. But I hope to come again in the future. Thanks for everything Liz and Pierre!

It's difficult to express in words the great experience we had during the two months we were with Liz and Pierre. They are such simple, welcoming and relaxed people that anyone feels at ease in the first few days.
We had a good time with them. Pierre plays the trumpet every day and sometimes he played especially for me and Elizama, it was like a

Liz loves to dance and we had the pleasure of teaching her a bit of Forró, a typical couple dance from Brazil, similar to Salsa. It was always a happy and relaxing time for all of us.
My work was quiet, cleaning outside areas, gardening, varnishing furniture, windows and doors. Nothing too heavy and they were always worrying about how we were feeling. I never felt overwhelmed by anything.
Elizama usually helped with the preparation of meals and cleaning the house. She learned to make numerous recipes of vegetarian food. They cook really well and the meals were always great and healthy. My eating habits have changed and this is already of great value for my health and consequently for my life. It was a new world I got to know and I'm grateful for that opportunity.
We also teach a lot about Brazilian cuisine. We prepare couscous, tapioca and munguza, typical Brazilian dishes.
Liz and Pierre were always concerned about our well-being and teaching us a lot of English and French. We've greatly improved our English. Liz taught Elizama a new word list every day and did dictation and reading with me so I could improve my vocabulary and pronunciation. I even got a book in English with a very interesting theme – “The Genie in your Genes”. I practiced French a lot with Pierre, I learned a lot about cheese and wine. 😊
Liz is a Meditation and Yoga teacher, and she always invited us to do some sessions with her. The lessons we learned here were countless and this will definitely make a difference in our lives from now on. I believe that anyone who spends time with them will learn and grow a lot. They are calm people and always helpful. This was definitely our best Workaway.
The last few days we were released from work so that we could worry about the things we had to sort out before traveling, They gave us clothes to wear in the cold of London and we had a special lunch.
I have absolutely no negative points to comment, quite the contrary, we only had gains in several ways.
Thanks for everything Liz and Pierre. You will always be kept in our hearts. We hope to meet you again.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

When I arrived at Liz and Pierre’s I don’t think any of us imagined that, within just a matter of days, the world was about to have a nervous breakdown and life as we know it turned on its head.

I will be forever grateful that they warmly welcomed me into their home and gave me a place to stay and be part of their family for two months to ride out the storm. I truly could not have been anywhere better.
Given the extraordinary circumstances, it would be easy to think that my time with them was somehow unique, but, having looked through the comments of previous Workawayers, I was struck by how similar our experiences were. It turns out that Liz and Pierre (and Paco and Laurie) are the best of us whether there’s a raging global pandemic or not.
So I just want to say thanks again for looking after me and for all the good times. To quote the last words said to me by my favourite cheese-loving, Macron-hating, trumpet-playing Frenchman... “It was great”.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Well overdue feedback for my favourite French family!

I mainly helped around the house and with cooking, and learned a lot from the French/Greek/South African fusion - I only wish we could have helped more during our stay. The family has a really lovely mix of international influences, and it comes through in how inviting they are to travellers. Oullins is a short walk and a metro ride away from the centre of town, but if you're up to it then the bikes make for an amazing trip past Confluence. I have travelled to many of the major cities in France, and Lyon remains to be my favourite - I cannot wait to return to the city in summer and see the Rhone at its best.
I cannot recommend Liz and Pierre highly enough if you want a wonderful family experience. If any travellers want any tips for Lyon or the Rhône Alps/South of France then feel free to flick me a message.

They kindly helped me a lot when I asked them many questions, they provided

I started doing yoga, learnt more about meditation, talked a lot about politics and French culture over meals, embraced the idea of organic life style, started to learn Esperanto and more. The work is not tough. People in the house are flexible. They immediately provide the materials you need. After working you have such great food and wine along with conversations. Their house and garden is not far from the center. Unfortunately I could not work in the garden due to the limited time but I learnt how to cook great food.
I miss you both and will visit them soon. Hope that Pierre will be teaching mt how to play the guitar.
Thank you very much for making my 10 days-Lyon-experience great.
Sunny greetings from Montpellier, Pinar

We really enjoyed Jack's quiet, discreet presence and his kind ways. He was always considerate and willing to do whatever we asked him and much more; he looked for things that needed to be done and took the initiative to do them.
Thank you for everything Jack and we really wish you well on the rest of your travels.

Charmants, chalereux, curieux , ouverts, serviables ..Super experience d'avoir passer le temps avec Liz et Pierre. Ils savent raconter des histoires et ils savent ecouter les gens :) Interesses par les autres , attentifs.
les moments des repas = les moments longs :) des discussions, echanges , rires. On peut apprendre beaucoup de la part des

Les repas c'etait aussi une nouvaute pour moi - bases sur les produits bio , d'abord me semblaient bizarres ) mais j'avais tort et j'ai appris aussi une "nouvelle cuisine ")
Le travail chez Eux etait vraiment sympa, rien n'etait impose, tout se passait d;une facon naturelle.
Mais surtout surtout a la maison de Liz et Pierre on peut se sentir tout de suite bien, bien accueilli, on devient membre de famille :) Merci)Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

It was a great pleasure having Alessio in our home. He’s easy and fun to have around, and is friendly, interesting, considerate and enthusiastic. He really felt like part of the family, and we were sorry to see him leave. We were also delighted that so much was accomplished while he was here. We would definitely warmly recommend him to anybody

Liz and Pierre are so welcoming and warm; one of the most kindly guys I have ever met.
They are great people, we spent lot of time talking on differents subjects and always in the spirit of cultural exchange. Every meal is a family moment to enjoy it with laugh and happyness.
They are funny, good listeners and interested to know different
… read more culture.
I spent 1 month with Liz and Pierre, a great and wonderful experience of my life; I learn a different food culture and I learn lots of little works I've never done before.
In their house there is always something to do but nothing unpleasant; I worked 99% of time with Pierre who is talented in any sort of manually work, for this reason was fantastic help him and work with him.
Their home is very cool, I loved their yoga/music/relax room and as I changed three times the room I can say that beds are comfortable.
I had great time practising my French with them (which it was my aim).
I really felt a member of the family and sometimes of the neighborhood too.
Oullins and Lyon are full of spots on the tourist trail and full of history.
I recommend Liz and Pierre to any workawayer who is looking for a home away from home.
See you soon!!! Miss you
Alessio
