Les Granges
We live the Dordgone; a beautiful part of France with breathtakig scenery where you can walk or cycle for miles. The village, with shop, bar and post office, is just a ten minute walk away. For supermarkets, a train station, bars and restaurants the town of Sarlat is just a ten minute drive. There are many tourist attractions nearby including castles, caves, gardens, lakes and rivers.
We are a British couple who has moved to France to renovate a farmhouse and barns. We are very busy with the renovations, but try to find time to enjoy ourselves. We walk our dogs, go to French classes and socialise with new friends that we are making here in France. We hope that our volunteers will become new friends also.

Luca and I had a fantastic time at Les Granges - Amanda and Graham were awesome hosts. The caravan had some issues at the start of the stay but we voiced our concerns and were offered a fabulous alternative. Thank you Graham and Amanda, we can’t wait to see the end result and wish you all the best!

We had a wonderful time working with Amanda and Graham. The work was fulfilling (we like getting our hands dirty), we look forward to seeing the final product once all the gites are complete.
The food was wonderful! Amanda and Graham were kind enough to purchase groceries that we wanted for the meals we would prepare ourselves.
We had an issue with the caravan initially - there was no running water and a couple other problems - but this was solved quickly as we were invited to stay at their friends’ hire and pet sit two gorgeous kittens. All was amazing in the end, thank you for having us!

This was my first Worldpackers position and it was a really great experience! Amanda and Graham were great hosts and I got to learn a good bit about construction while I was here. Hours were very well respected and the cooked lunches were very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

It was an unbeatable experience. Free times and meals are respected. The landscapes, unbeatable, there is a castle very close that can be visited on foot or by bicycle.
Amanda and Graham are two very kind and generous people. The dinners that Amanda prepares are great.
Graham, for his part, is an excellent and patient teacher who will provide you with all his knowledge while you help him at work.
When we had to leave, we had problems with our train ticket and they helped us solve it.

Amanda and Graham are very friendly, they like to talk, but they also know how to respect personal space. They complied with absolutely all offers, including meals. It is a volunteer work focused on construction and renovation and the work and the day are adequate. Strictly respect the timetable. On weekends, they offer us rides and we can explore neighboring villages. The experience was very positive, thanks and I hope they are very successful in the Les Granges project.
