I'm very happy and grateful to have had this experience of 2 months in Lucian's house. Every day I learning something new, I definitely recommend this place, away from the noise and chaos of the city, it's a very quiet and the landscape s amazing and the people I met are wonderful. Lucian is a very kind person and I always felt comfortable.

The home provided me with a warm place to sleep in his tiny yet somewhat messy home. His cooking was fantastic and we got along well as we talked during meals. However, due to a few communication issues, the working atmosphere was sometimes tense. He cares more about you learning his process than the quality of the final product. I had a lot of trouble plastering his inclined ceiling. Often the plaster was mixed too thin, which made it more difficult to use. However my situation is very specific. The tasks will differ for each volunteer as you help the home refresh his home.

My experience with the home was good! He loves in a cute home with stunning surroundings. The food he made was outstanding, and he's very generous. I'd say just to make sure you do things the way he wants them done, and make sure you're on the same page, for example, you might do dishes one way, and he might do them another, so just ask:) It was lovely staying with you the home. Until next time!

My experience with the home was very good! He lives in a house in the middle of the mountain. It is an ideal place if you want to get out of the chaos of the city and spend time doing work surrounded by nature and tranquility. He is very hospitable and he makes you feel at home. He also cooks typical French food for you (since he was a Chef for more than 40 years). You can also learn French with him if you want to. He is flexible with schedules. You just have to be willing to collaborate in whatever is necessary. A 100% recommended experience.
