We are in the process of renovating an old house in the Pyrenees. There is only decorating to do such as stripping paint of walls and woodwork, and repainting. There might be the occasional carpentry to do also, nothing too complicated. We need help 5 hours per day, five days per week. Weeding, pruning trees, making paths. We are looking for help from two strong and healthy individuals to assist with a house redecorating project and gardening, trimming trees, path making etc. This requires physical strength and stamina. Please note, we cannot host anyone with any pre existing health issues, physical or mental (we are not medically trained to manage such conditions). We live in a small village with some shops and a climbing centre and a river just opposite the house. We have a quite a size garden where we grow vegetables, fruit bushes and trees. Here, we have spectacular mountain views on our doorstep, hiking trails through the mountains and forests, cycling paths, and skiing in the...

(FR en bas) Rocale is striving to build a laboratory for an ecological, Feminist and harmonious little hamlet. Agriculturally, what I do here could be described as a really massive forest garden. You'll be working and sharing meals with me, a modern scavenger hunter gatherer with a computer^^. My mom lives in the village and runs a "Gite Nature" out of one of the houses here on the farm mostly during the summer months. She also gives mushroom tours. Sometimes a friend will visit or come to help with a project. But often the vibe is fairly quiet or vacation-y during the tourist season. Activities: Gardening, eco-construction, forestry/path management + fire wood collection (moving/stacking/splitting, a version of wild syntropic agriculture ;), farm maintenance, renovations, taking care of the fruit trees and tree nursery and DIY projects. . Other driving philosophies - Biomimicry, low tech, anti-capitalism, permaculture, sustainability, food sovereignty, social justice. I do not t...

Hey, hello you ! We are Caro and Chris, Zion and Kiara. We were travelling around the world since a gorgeous time until all this virus craziness happened. Caro, then Chris & Caro were backpacking, doing hitchhiking, etc... The beautiful wildlife. Then kids arrived in 2017 and 2019 so we mainly stayed travelling in Europe by van until they will be able to carry a little backpack ;) When the virus arrived, we were crossing Sweden. Everything became complicated with borders, shops and people so we decided to enjoy the strange time to build our home. We bought an over 300 years old stone house on a big peace of land which were abandoned and this new adventure started. Bretagne is a nice place full of culture, traditions, nice villages, forest and legends and history, and surrounded by the sea. After being helpers ourselves, we now want to be hosts too. We loved it so we expect people love it here too. Our kids are homeschooling with mainly their mother and we would be happy to have Eng...

We run a well-known organic market garden in the Alpes Maritime, right on the Riviera coast and the Italian border. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and popular with tourists. Our garden is on mountain terraces above the town, but only a 10 minute walk to the beach and 20 to the old town. Access is easy by train or bus from Nice or Italy. For the next 5 months we are looking for hands-on and experienced support with a number of urgent tasks. This could be a paid situation for an experienced person willing to contract for the season which ends 30 September. The work includes sowing, planting, fertilising, harvesting for market, basic landscaping, fencing, irrigation repair and DIY/maintenance and will probably best suit a fit and younger male helper. We may also take 1 or 2 experienced volunteers for shorter periods. As a produce grower, our crops include organic lemons, oranges, avocados, vegetables. Leaf crops and herbs. These we sell at a combination of local market, hig...

Hello, We live in the beautiful Charente region 16140, and are looking for help with all sorts of jobs, from feeding the donkeys and other animals to painting and helping in the garden 😊 We are slowly bringing this lovely old château back to life after being empty and abandoned for many years. We are an English couple enjoying growing our own organic vegetables and looking after our animals. We recently planted an orchard and have lots of other projects we'd love your help with. I, Georgina, have been a helpx-er in the past, in many countries and enjoy meeting new people from different cultures. In the past we've had some wonderful times with our helpers, many of whom remain friends and have visited several times. In return we offer a comfortable bedroom in the chateau with 3 meals a day, and cooked as much as possible with our fresh produce. We would like your help for 5 hours a day with weekends off. There is lots to explore like little villages and towns and the river. The coa...

Nous sommes Pierre-yves et Paul, deux hommes gay. Nous habitons dans le sud ouest de la France, dans le très joli département de la Dordogne. Nous sommes horticulteurs. Nous vivons avec nos deux chats dans notre vieille ferme construite il y a plus de 200 ans. C'est un endroit paisible de la campagne française, à proximité d'un tout petit village. Les commerces et les villes ne sont pas très loin. Notre village s'appel Verteillac, il est situé à proximité de Ribérac. Notre vie tourne principalement autour des travaux en extérieur et par tous les temps. Nous exploitons une pépinière à domicile, ce qui nous laisse peu de temps libre pour entretenir la maison et le jardin. Nos projets incluent donc le jardinage, le désherbage, le défrichage autour de la maison et parfois la maintenance des bâtiments. Les travaux peuvent varier selon la saison. C'est un réel plaisir pour nous de partager toutes ces taches avec des personnes motivées, énergiques et qui apprécies la sérénité de notre styl...

I live in an old farm and farmhouse in Normandy. I have converted a cottage into a holiday cottage with 4 bedrooms (all en suite) and one barn into another. I also had a Yurt (now gone but the pictures are still there !!) and a campsite. With the guest-accommodation, farm and further buildings to be converted, I could always do with an extra pair of hands. Skills can range from building, painting, cleaning, farming and general maintenance. Someone with a sense of humour would be great. I enjoy music so you may find all sorts playing, from classical to Genesis, Roxy Music to London Grammar! Current projects (weather dependent) include: 1. tidying toolshed 2. move garden shed 3. create car port I offer accommodation and meals included in return for help normally 5 days a week. After a week I'm happy to give a day tour of the battlefields ... Phone number (what's app) available on request. Easy to find and get to .. .By train leave Paris at the Gare de St Lazare for Cherbourg. G...

*** We're currently looking for one more volunteer to complete our 5 person team, from November 6th to November 20th. *** Hello kind stranger! Our names are Claire and Michiel, we're a young Franco-Belgian family living on an old farmstead near the coast of Wissant, North of France. For 8 years now we are bringing the old farmhouses back to life, while also bringing up our two daughters: Fleur (5 yo) and Perle (3 yo). We've been hosts since 2021 and we love the life that a group of volunteers brings to our place. Making you discover French culture, nature and the sea helps us to enjoy it even more ourselves. Teaching French and picking up on your languages widens our world view and helps our kids to be future globetrotters - like you! The different nationalities we're welcoming make us feel like travelling the world while staying at home. Every day we're hosting, it widens our horizon and gives us love, laughter and friendship. So far we've made an old stable into our home, we've re...

Have availability from now through November! Welcome to your lovely large house and garden in the Loire Valley at the edge of the typically French village of Langeais (including Renaissance château, near the autoroutes, with SNCF train station offering regular service to Tours/Saumur/Angers and easy connection to Paris). As with all older homes, it needs some love and care :) The house is owned by Patrick, from London, who sometimes hosts paying guests, and is managed by his friend Brodie, from New York. You will have your own en suite bedroom (single in the pictures, double if you are a couple) with shared meals and drinks in exchange for an average of 4 hours of work per day of your stay. Depending on your desires, skills, and the weather, the work may alternate between landscape gardening (weeding, trimming, tackling brambles, mowing) or house maintenance (indoor/outdoor painting, deep-cleaning, organisation). We'll agree on the length of your stay from the beginning, depending on...

For an experience in a farm with horses and dogs, if you love nature and are not afraid of hard work! Here you’ll find silence and peace, and also many splendid places to visit. [UPDATE: We don’t have availability for a position in horse care only. But we have availability for a strong person, hard worker, to help outside with the bush clearing, using the brushcutter, driving the tractor to grind the fields, apart from helping a bit with the animals and the handling of horses. Note that we are very busy during the week, and we can't go and check our emails every day. You might have to wait a bit for an answer. Sorry for this.] We live in a sparsely populated area called Berry located in the center of France between Orléans (60km) and Bourges (50km). The closest city is Gien, 27km away. Just west is the county called Sologne, where nature is all around, though we are at only 2 hours from Paris. East is the Sancerre valley. We are looking for handy volunteers or good riders. Check...

**A Sustainable Family Haven in the South of France** Nestled in a beautiful, old stone farmhouse on the edge of the Cevennes National Park, our family is on a continuous journey towards a more conscious and sustainable lifestyle. We are passionate about reusing materials, reducing waste, and living in harmony with our stunning natural environment between Provence and Ardèche. Our home is a lively, creative hub—a blended Dutch-French family where English is spoken by all. We heat with a central wood-burner, grow our own organic vegetables, and operate on a circular water system where greywater and rainwater are filtered through natural phyto-basins. **Your Stay with Us** We offer a unique stay in either a cozy camper-van or a room in our house. There is space for camping. The outdoor sanitary building features a dry toilet, and you're welcome to take a refreshing dip in our natural, plant-filtered swimming pool.

French Chateau under renovation in quiet rural location, close to local village. We are looking for help with building renovation work, decoration and services in the main building, landscaping of the gardens and woodland maintenance. The top floor of the chateau is finished and accommodation is in your own room on the top floor of the building (see photos for a picture of one of the helper rooms), which has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a cinema all finished and fully furnished. The ground and first floors are both partially completed. The ground floor kitchen, utility room, billiards and dining room have been completed. Full board included, mainly eating outside in the summer when weather permits. Helpers, family and friends all eat together. Since there may be a number of family, friends and helpers at the house at any one time, unfortunately we are not able to accommodate vegans or people with special dietary requirements or food allergies There is plenty to do...

Hello, I live in France since 2013, just moved to another house since 1 decembre 2024, making a big vegetable garden again. The house is on a hill with three platforms. There is a peace of land next to the river, private, for a tent . You can stay in the house and in the future in the yurt. Need some help with garden, new fences and cutting of the hedges. I live alone, I am 68 and like to work with people. My daughters and their families live in The Netherlands. I speak good French and English but I am Dutch. Like to work with kind honest people who are curious to learn more about gardening. I have 40 years of experience with energetic massage made a course, can teach people that too. J'aime avoir de l'aide avec le jardin et les clôtures autour de la maison et quelques petits travaux dans la maison. Parce que je vis à la campagne, une voiture est nécessaire. Je vis maintenant dans un hangar à trains (6 trains, petits, par jour) au sommet d'une colline avec une vue magnifique et ap...

Située en pleine campagne, au milieu de la forêt, la maison est quasiment un hameau à elle seule.

We are both retired and live in a converted barn in about two acres of land. The nearest town is Villefranche de Rouergue which is ten kilometres away. We have lived in France long enough to appreciate what we call proper food so. we strive to vary the diet so that no main meal is repeated for at least 14 days (unless specially requested) It may be French, it may be British, or it may be a mixture of French and British and on occasions you will taste the local delicacies We are very flexible about working hours all we ask is that in return for five hours work per day, five days a week, at a time to suit yourself, we will provide you with good healthy tasty food and a private comfortable room which has TV and en-suite facilities, If you are a couple who wish complete privacy, we could provide you with a separate self-contained apartment. Must be non-smoker and we find that feeding vegans is difficult. Please note. If you want to practice your English, then we are your ideal hosts a...

Bonjour à tous (English version below) Je m’appelle Alix et suis une mère de famille de 63 ans. C'est ma 1ère expérience en tant que "host". Je recherche uniquement des germanophones/anglophones car je souhaite aussi (à l’occasion d’échanges entre nous) pouvoir converser en allemand/anglais pour améliorer mon niveau. Pas de souci si vous ne parlez pas le français !!! Pour le reste, il s’agit de travaux de ménage à faire ainsi que la préparation des repas : française ou autre. Pour les repas de midi et du soir, nous mangeons ensemble… c’est mieux pour discuter de tout et de rien… selon la formule !!! La gastronomie joue un rôle très important dans les familles françaises : je n’ai pas besoin d’un « Master chef » mais je ne rechigne pas sur les bons petits plats : si vous saviez cuisiner, ce serait parfait. A rajouter à ceci (si vous avez quelques compétences dans ces domaines-là) : l’entretien du jardin et quelques petits travaux de rénovation si besoin. La maison est une villa t...

Our family runs a western riding facility with 30 stalls, where we provide horse boarding and training, including reining and cow work. We also have a western saloon, where we host weddings, special events, and are open for our club members on weekends. In return for cleaning out stalls and feeding horses (and the odd other job), we offer room and board, sorry we cannot host vegetarians; we include you in family activities and you have the possibility to improve your riding skills in western riding (cow work and reining) in our 30 x 60 m arena and - how about -learning some line dancing!! A bicycle is available, if you want to explore the near surroundings. We are located close to Switzerland, it`s about a 15 minutes car ride to Basle, and also only about 20 minutes to Germany. Our area is a great tourist region. If you are mature, fit and self-motivated, willing to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks, experienced with handling horses, we would be happy to hear from you!

Hello, and thank you for looking at our page/profile! We are looking for a helper (1 person) during September and October and November for a 2 week period but that can be further negotiated. We would like help inside and outside and with plenty of gardening and watering of the garden. Outdoor work includes keeping the gardens tidy, cutting and trimming of trees and mowing the lawn. Also the helper must be able to lift and haul fireplace wood and (ideally) know the use of a chain saw but not necessary. All of this work we do together. Further work includes simple window washing, exterior window and door painting. Saturday house cleaning, gardening, pool cleaning, ironing sheets for the rentals, etc. We are chefs from New York City so we offer great food and comfortable accommodation though we do not do cooking classes to our helpx friends. In the summer time when weather permits, you have a deluxe caravan for your home. You must be very neat and punctual for work and have no special...

....now building our team for harvest, beginning around mid Oct 2025... Our olive hill farm is in Provence, 95 acres of Mediterranean olive groves and woodland. We also have a self-catering holiday Gite (an apartment) and we are only 24km from Mediterranean beaches on the Cote d Azur. In fact, you can see the sea in the distance from the olive groves and from the little cabanon near the house which is where helpers stay! The farmhouse is at the top of a secluded valley backed by a dramatic circle of cliffs in the form of a horseshoe which protects it from the Mistral winds, and we are only 2km from the village which you can see down in the valley. The views are amazing... And behind the house there are 3,000 ha of national forestry with walks in an unspoiled and protected natural environment full of wildlife: wild boar, roe deer, foxes, martens, buzzards, hawks and several eagles among all the other lesser species. OLIVE HARVEST (mid Oct - mid Dec) is the most important time of yea...

I have several little gardens and there is always a lot to do. I travel very often, so my work in the garden is not regular. I live in an old but renovated house in a nice village. I have some painting to do ( windows, shutters ) and getting order in my garages. It's more funny to work with somebody than alone. I like also to show you the nice surrounding of my area, do cycling or walking tours, meet my friends with you and go to Poitiers, which is a very nice university town. I travel a lot ( so some months of a year I'm abroad) and I have contacts with foreign students in Poitiers. I like the ecologique way of live, I like to live simple and happy.

Offering food and accommodation in exchange for help in the gardens and elsewhere on the land. The project is to grow all the food needed for a small number of people in a way that benefits biodiversity as well as soil health and human health. The gardens are inspired by perma-culture principles, we are growing annual crops together with perennial plants, that will slowly expand, becoming food forest. We prefer to use as little machinery as possible. Nearly everything is done by hand. This year we will cut a large meadow by scythe, replacing the use of tractor. We eat vegan and organic, mostly from the garden. There are no domestic animals on the farm, but many wild ones. We ask for around 25 hours of work per week. The work typically involves a wide variety of tasks, depending on the season. Volunteers will have some flexibility about what tasks they do and when they do it, so it will not be only weeding or tedious jobs. Only a small part of the land is farmed, the rest is left wild t...

Bonjour à tous ! Nous sommes éleveur de chevaux arabes, arabe-barbes et anglo-arabes et nous avons une trentaine de chevaux en moyenne, dont des retraités, des poulains, et des adultes qui sont montés. Nos autres animaux sont 2 chiens, un malinois guide de chevaux, et une micro beagle réformée des laboratoires, et des poules qui vivent en liberté. Il est donc primordial d'aimer aussi les chiens, car les deux là sont très invasifs pour avoir des câlins... Notre discipline sportive est l'endurance, et nous il nos arrive de faire des des compétitions plus ou moins longues, de 20 à 120 km ou plus. Evidemment le cheval est notre passion, et nous aimons partager avec tous ceux qui ont la même passion que nous. J'accueillerais une cavalière, ou un cavalier (très léger si c'est un garçon ), souriante et sympa, qui bavarde, pour monter à cheval avec moi, une fois le matin et une fois l'après-midi en général, selon la météo (on ne va pas se faire souffrir !) et ce que j'ai d'autres à faire...

We are a small organic olive farm, not yet in commercial production and animal refuge. We practice permaculture and the olives are part of a `forest garden` which also includes 200 cork oaks, carob and other trees and shrubs. We also have a vegetable garden and fruit trees . Our rescued animals include dogs, cats, a house pig, donkeys, a goat, ducks, rescue rabbits and worms!. Living in a Mediterranean climate we practice several different methods of water recycling and have a biological swimming pool. Help is required with all aspects of a compassionate, sustainable lifestyle. Meals are vegan, wine is served with the evening meal and we are non smoking. Current projects are forestry care, garden management - watering & weed/feed for animals,animal care, plus all the everyday tasks that are part of everyday communal sustainable living. The olive harvest is late October. Normally up to 4 helpers are here at a time, living as part of a family style community. We ask a minimum commitment...

H-E-L-P !!!!!! I am drowning. I am not drowning at sea, nor in a river, but I am drowning in work. I need a helper! My last helper has just left. Now I am alone! I am quite a bit over 80 and the farm gives me too much to do. I intend to leave France at the end of the year, so quite a number of things have to be done. Together with my husband we could have managed, but unfortunately he died a few years ago. so I was left alone. I do as much as I can and my helper definitely does not have to be outside working in the sun. but there is quite a lot of work still. I am hoping to hear from some kind and helpful person soon. Nothing too hard work, but continuous help is needed. Thank you if you decide to come. It is a small farm. The whole area is 3.5 ha, but the garden area is only 1 ha. The rest I have let for someone to let his cows graze. We used to have bees and later on, when my husband was ill, we sold the bees and had very many special geese and ducks, peacocks, pheasants an...

I am an Irish filmmaker, recently relocated to France. I have just bought a 150 year old French Manor House(20+ rooms) and two giant barns, which I am converting into an independent film studio, as well as a recording studio and artists studios. I plan to run Kino Kabaret filmmaking events here as well as writer retreats and film industry masterclasses. I also plan to hold outdoor theatre in the summer. I also love to cook and try new dishes so look forward to cooking with travellers. Outside there is an in ground swimming pool which needs to be repaired in time for summer Inside the house it is mainly painting and decorating as I bring the various salons and bedrooms back to their former glory. I need to lay floor tiles in a few rooms and wood in a couple more. In the barns I need help building a 30 seat cinema/screening room, editing suites as well as the recording studio. Altogether there are a huge amount of tasks and something suitable to all skill levels. Helpers will have their ...

Experiment the French countryside in a modern house Hi Champagne travelers ! I’m a Valérie, 60 yo and I live by myself in a modern home in the countryside of the “Marne” 45min away from Reims and 10min away from Châlons-en-Champagne I have 2 adult daughters, one leaving in Lille in the North of France and the other traveling and being a helper abroad ! I have a large plot of land around my house, a small orchard and a lot of shrubs and plants. I’ve rented my daughter’s room on airbnb for several years so I'm used to welcome people in my house but as I live alone sometimes it’s hard to take care of the property by myself and that’s why I would be keen on welcoming from time to time some helpers ! I prioritize short stays of 1 or 2 weeks - mainly during march, april, october, november. Or house keeping when iam traveling. You would stay on the first floor with your own room and bathroom and we share the rest of the house. There’s Wi-Fi and the television. You would be provided 3 meals...

Hello helpers travellers We live in the French Alps, in Maurienne, in a ski resort : Les Sybelles. We are a couple of 40 yo, with a super sportive dog, Loulou. We're looking for helpers for now, for the month of October. Since early July we're back from a 3 months road trip through Scandinavian (2 months in Norway) and Baltic countries. Automn has started and colours are stoning ! We live close to Le Corbier in a little wooden chalet, almost lost in the forest, accessible by walking (20 min) or by quad. It is at 1500m altitude. Easier if you have your own car to travel around but all good if you don't. The Corbier is accessible by a walk. We can come to pick you up in St Jean de Maurienne, the nearest town. Hitch hiking works well. It's a wooden chalet, that we're restoring and it will be our main home for now and near future. It relies on solar panel and spring source. We're tend to be self sustainable and autonomous. We have 4 hen and we enjoy their eggs. We do a lot of our own ...

Bonjour everybody, We are a couple with 1 daughter (11 years old), 1 cat and 1 dog. We need help in the garden, and in the house. Tasks: Starting Springtime: the most important help we need would be gardening especially weeding. Other than that, you can help with household and cooking: cleaning the house, washing clothes, folding them, cooking (simple dishes makes us happy too) . On weekends you would be free to do anything, either relax or discover the region. You can see on our profiles some references of previous helpers, and thanks to them the house and garden are much nicer and we had great time together. Our dog (a 11 years old Wiener) and our cat are both allowed in the house and friendly. Etienne works from home, Monika is at her shop for most of the day. When at home (2 days /week), she loves to spend time with Chloé, and cooking;) We are always open to your DIY suggestions, right now on the list we have some things to fix like: - placing outside lights, flower pots, s...

We are in the process of renovating an old house in the Pyrenees. There is only decorating to do such as stripping paint of walls and woodwork, and repainting. There might be the occasional carpentry to do also, nothing too complicated. We need help 5 hours per day, five days per week. Weeding, pruning trees, making paths. We are looking for help from two strong and healthy individuals to assist with a house redecorating project and gardening, trimming trees, path making etc. This requires physical strength and stamina. Please note, we cannot host anyone with any pre existing health issues, physical or mental (we are not medically trained to manage such conditions). We live in a small village with some shops and a climbing centre and a river just opposite the house. We have a quite a size garden where we grow vegetables, fruit bushes and trees. Here, we have spectacular mountain views on our doorstep, hiking trails through the mountains and forests, cycling paths, and skiing in the...

(FR en bas) Rocale is striving to build a laboratory for an ecological, Feminist and harmonious little hamlet. Agriculturally, what I do here could be described as a really massive forest garden. You'll be working and sharing meals with me, a modern scavenger hunter gatherer with a computer^^. My mom lives in the village and runs a "Gite Nature" out of one of the houses here on the farm mostly during the summer months. She also gives mushroom tours. Sometimes a friend will visit or come to help with a project. But often the vibe is fairly quiet or vacation-y during the tourist season. Activities: Gardening, eco-construction, forestry/path management + fire wood collection (moving/stacking/splitting, a version of wild syntropic agriculture ;), farm maintenance, renovations, taking care of the fruit trees and tree nursery and DIY projects. . Other driving philosophies - Biomimicry, low tech, anti-capitalism, permaculture, sustainability, food sovereignty, social justice. I do not t...

Hey, hello you ! We are Caro and Chris, Zion and Kiara. We were travelling around the world since a gorgeous time until all this virus craziness happened. Caro, then Chris & Caro were backpacking, doing hitchhiking, etc... The beautiful wildlife. Then kids arrived in 2017 and 2019 so we mainly stayed travelling in Europe by van until they will be able to carry a little backpack ;) When the virus arrived, we were crossing Sweden. Everything became complicated with borders, shops and people so we decided to enjoy the strange time to build our home. We bought an over 300 years old stone house on a big peace of land which were abandoned and this new adventure started. Bretagne is a nice place full of culture, traditions, nice villages, forest and legends and history, and surrounded by the sea. After being helpers ourselves, we now want to be hosts too. We loved it so we expect people love it here too. Our kids are homeschooling with mainly their mother and we would be happy to have Eng...

We run a well-known organic market garden in the Alpes Maritime, right on the Riviera coast and the Italian border. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and popular with tourists. Our garden is on mountain terraces above the town, but only a 10 minute walk to the beach and 20 to the old town. Access is easy by train or bus from Nice or Italy. For the next 5 months we are looking for hands-on and experienced support with a number of urgent tasks. This could be a paid situation for an experienced person willing to contract for the season which ends 30 September. The work includes sowing, planting, fertilising, harvesting for market, basic landscaping, fencing, irrigation repair and DIY/maintenance and will probably best suit a fit and younger male helper. We may also take 1 or 2 experienced volunteers for shorter periods. As a produce grower, our crops include organic lemons, oranges, avocados, vegetables. Leaf crops and herbs. These we sell at a combination of local market, hig...

Hello, We live in the beautiful Charente region 16140, and are looking for help with all sorts of jobs, from feeding the donkeys and other animals to painting and helping in the garden 😊 We are slowly bringing this lovely old château back to life after being empty and abandoned for many years. We are an English couple enjoying growing our own organic vegetables and looking after our animals. We recently planted an orchard and have lots of other projects we'd love your help with. I, Georgina, have been a helpx-er in the past, in many countries and enjoy meeting new people from different cultures. In the past we've had some wonderful times with our helpers, many of whom remain friends and have visited several times. In return we offer a comfortable bedroom in the chateau with 3 meals a day, and cooked as much as possible with our fresh produce. We would like your help for 5 hours a day with weekends off. There is lots to explore like little villages and towns and the river. The coa...

Nous sommes Pierre-yves et Paul, deux hommes gay. Nous habitons dans le sud ouest de la France, dans le très joli département de la Dordogne. Nous sommes horticulteurs. Nous vivons avec nos deux chats dans notre vieille ferme construite il y a plus de 200 ans. C'est un endroit paisible de la campagne française, à proximité d'un tout petit village. Les commerces et les villes ne sont pas très loin. Notre village s'appel Verteillac, il est situé à proximité de Ribérac. Notre vie tourne principalement autour des travaux en extérieur et par tous les temps. Nous exploitons une pépinière à domicile, ce qui nous laisse peu de temps libre pour entretenir la maison et le jardin. Nos projets incluent donc le jardinage, le désherbage, le défrichage autour de la maison et parfois la maintenance des bâtiments. Les travaux peuvent varier selon la saison. C'est un réel plaisir pour nous de partager toutes ces taches avec des personnes motivées, énergiques et qui apprécies la sérénité de notre styl...

I live in an old farm and farmhouse in Normandy. I have converted a cottage into a holiday cottage with 4 bedrooms (all en suite) and one barn into another. I also had a Yurt (now gone but the pictures are still there !!) and a campsite. With the guest-accommodation, farm and further buildings to be converted, I could always do with an extra pair of hands. Skills can range from building, painting, cleaning, farming and general maintenance. Someone with a sense of humour would be great. I enjoy music so you may find all sorts playing, from classical to Genesis, Roxy Music to London Grammar! Current projects (weather dependent) include: 1. tidying toolshed 2. move garden shed 3. create car port I offer accommodation and meals included in return for help normally 5 days a week. After a week I'm happy to give a day tour of the battlefields ... Phone number (what's app) available on request. Easy to find and get to .. .By train leave Paris at the Gare de St Lazare for Cherbourg. G...

*** We're currently looking for one more volunteer to complete our 5 person team, from November 6th to November 20th. *** Hello kind stranger! Our names are Claire and Michiel, we're a young Franco-Belgian family living on an old farmstead near the coast of Wissant, North of France. For 8 years now we are bringing the old farmhouses back to life, while also bringing up our two daughters: Fleur (5 yo) and Perle (3 yo). We've been hosts since 2021 and we love the life that a group of volunteers brings to our place. Making you discover French culture, nature and the sea helps us to enjoy it even more ourselves. Teaching French and picking up on your languages widens our world view and helps our kids to be future globetrotters - like you! The different nationalities we're welcoming make us feel like travelling the world while staying at home. Every day we're hosting, it widens our horizon and gives us love, laughter and friendship. So far we've made an old stable into our home, we've re...

Have availability from now through November! Welcome to your lovely large house and garden in the Loire Valley at the edge of the typically French village of Langeais (including Renaissance château, near the autoroutes, with SNCF train station offering regular service to Tours/Saumur/Angers and easy connection to Paris). As with all older homes, it needs some love and care :) The house is owned by Patrick, from London, who sometimes hosts paying guests, and is managed by his friend Brodie, from New York. You will have your own en suite bedroom (single in the pictures, double if you are a couple) with shared meals and drinks in exchange for an average of 4 hours of work per day of your stay. Depending on your desires, skills, and the weather, the work may alternate between landscape gardening (weeding, trimming, tackling brambles, mowing) or house maintenance (indoor/outdoor painting, deep-cleaning, organisation). We'll agree on the length of your stay from the beginning, depending on...

For an experience in a farm with horses and dogs, if you love nature and are not afraid of hard work! Here you’ll find silence and peace, and also many splendid places to visit. [UPDATE: We don’t have availability for a position in horse care only. But we have availability for a strong person, hard worker, to help outside with the bush clearing, using the brushcutter, driving the tractor to grind the fields, apart from helping a bit with the animals and the handling of horses. Note that we are very busy during the week, and we can't go and check our emails every day. You might have to wait a bit for an answer. Sorry for this.] We live in a sparsely populated area called Berry located in the center of France between Orléans (60km) and Bourges (50km). The closest city is Gien, 27km away. Just west is the county called Sologne, where nature is all around, though we are at only 2 hours from Paris. East is the Sancerre valley. We are looking for handy volunteers or good riders. Check...

**A Sustainable Family Haven in the South of France** Nestled in a beautiful, old stone farmhouse on the edge of the Cevennes National Park, our family is on a continuous journey towards a more conscious and sustainable lifestyle. We are passionate about reusing materials, reducing waste, and living in harmony with our stunning natural environment between Provence and Ardèche. Our home is a lively, creative hub—a blended Dutch-French family where English is spoken by all. We heat with a central wood-burner, grow our own organic vegetables, and operate on a circular water system where greywater and rainwater are filtered through natural phyto-basins. **Your Stay with Us** We offer a unique stay in either a cozy camper-van or a room in our house. There is space for camping. The outdoor sanitary building features a dry toilet, and you're welcome to take a refreshing dip in our natural, plant-filtered swimming pool.

French Chateau under renovation in quiet rural location, close to local village. We are looking for help with building renovation work, decoration and services in the main building, landscaping of the gardens and woodland maintenance. The top floor of the chateau is finished and accommodation is in your own room on the top floor of the building (see photos for a picture of one of the helper rooms), which has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a cinema all finished and fully furnished. The ground and first floors are both partially completed. The ground floor kitchen, utility room, billiards and dining room have been completed. Full board included, mainly eating outside in the summer when weather permits. Helpers, family and friends all eat together. Since there may be a number of family, friends and helpers at the house at any one time, unfortunately we are not able to accommodate vegans or people with special dietary requirements or food allergies There is plenty to do...

Hello, I live in France since 2013, just moved to another house since 1 decembre 2024, making a big vegetable garden again. The house is on a hill with three platforms. There is a peace of land next to the river, private, for a tent . You can stay in the house and in the future in the yurt. Need some help with garden, new fences and cutting of the hedges. I live alone, I am 68 and like to work with people. My daughters and their families live in The Netherlands. I speak good French and English but I am Dutch. Like to work with kind honest people who are curious to learn more about gardening. I have 40 years of experience with energetic massage made a course, can teach people that too. J'aime avoir de l'aide avec le jardin et les clôtures autour de la maison et quelques petits travaux dans la maison. Parce que je vis à la campagne, une voiture est nécessaire. Je vis maintenant dans un hangar à trains (6 trains, petits, par jour) au sommet d'une colline avec une vue magnifique et ap...

We are both retired and live in a converted barn in about two acres of land. The nearest town is Villefranche de Rouergue which is ten kilometres away. We have lived in France long enough to appreciate what we call proper food so. we strive to vary the diet so that no main meal is repeated for at least 14 days (unless specially requested) It may be French, it may be British, or it may be a mixture of French and British and on occasions you will taste the local delicacies We are very flexible about working hours all we ask is that in return for five hours work per day, five days a week, at a time to suit yourself, we will provide you with good healthy tasty food and a private comfortable room which has TV and en-suite facilities, If you are a couple who wish complete privacy, we could provide you with a separate self-contained apartment. Must be non-smoker and we find that feeding vegans is difficult. Please note. If you want to practice your English, then we are your ideal hosts a...

Bonjour à tous (English version below) Je m’appelle Alix et suis une mère de famille de 63 ans. C'est ma 1ère expérience en tant que "host". Je recherche uniquement des germanophones/anglophones car je souhaite aussi (à l’occasion d’échanges entre nous) pouvoir converser en allemand/anglais pour améliorer mon niveau. Pas de souci si vous ne parlez pas le français !!! Pour le reste, il s’agit de travaux de ménage à faire ainsi que la préparation des repas : française ou autre. Pour les repas de midi et du soir, nous mangeons ensemble… c’est mieux pour discuter de tout et de rien… selon la formule !!! La gastronomie joue un rôle très important dans les familles françaises : je n’ai pas besoin d’un « Master chef » mais je ne rechigne pas sur les bons petits plats : si vous saviez cuisiner, ce serait parfait. A rajouter à ceci (si vous avez quelques compétences dans ces domaines-là) : l’entretien du jardin et quelques petits travaux de rénovation si besoin. La maison est une villa t...

Our family runs a western riding facility with 30 stalls, where we provide horse boarding and training, including reining and cow work. We also have a western saloon, where we host weddings, special events, and are open for our club members on weekends. In return for cleaning out stalls and feeding horses (and the odd other job), we offer room and board, sorry we cannot host vegetarians; we include you in family activities and you have the possibility to improve your riding skills in western riding (cow work and reining) in our 30 x 60 m arena and - how about -learning some line dancing!! A bicycle is available, if you want to explore the near surroundings. We are located close to Switzerland, it`s about a 15 minutes car ride to Basle, and also only about 20 minutes to Germany. Our area is a great tourist region. If you are mature, fit and self-motivated, willing to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks, experienced with handling horses, we would be happy to hear from you!

Hello, and thank you for looking at our page/profile! We are looking for a helper (1 person) during September and October and November for a 2 week period but that can be further negotiated. We would like help inside and outside and with plenty of gardening and watering of the garden. Outdoor work includes keeping the gardens tidy, cutting and trimming of trees and mowing the lawn. Also the helper must be able to lift and haul fireplace wood and (ideally) know the use of a chain saw but not necessary. All of this work we do together. Further work includes simple window washing, exterior window and door painting. Saturday house cleaning, gardening, pool cleaning, ironing sheets for the rentals, etc. We are chefs from New York City so we offer great food and comfortable accommodation though we do not do cooking classes to our helpx friends. In the summer time when weather permits, you have a deluxe caravan for your home. You must be very neat and punctual for work and have no special...

....now building our team for harvest, beginning around mid Oct 2025... Our olive hill farm is in Provence, 95 acres of Mediterranean olive groves and woodland. We also have a self-catering holiday Gite (an apartment) and we are only 24km from Mediterranean beaches on the Cote d Azur. In fact, you can see the sea in the distance from the olive groves and from the little cabanon near the house which is where helpers stay! The farmhouse is at the top of a secluded valley backed by a dramatic circle of cliffs in the form of a horseshoe which protects it from the Mistral winds, and we are only 2km from the village which you can see down in the valley. The views are amazing... And behind the house there are 3,000 ha of national forestry with walks in an unspoiled and protected natural environment full of wildlife: wild boar, roe deer, foxes, martens, buzzards, hawks and several eagles among all the other lesser species. OLIVE HARVEST (mid Oct - mid Dec) is the most important time of yea...

I have several little gardens and there is always a lot to do. I travel very often, so my work in the garden is not regular. I live in an old but renovated house in a nice village. I have some painting to do ( windows, shutters ) and getting order in my garages. It's more funny to work with somebody than alone. I like also to show you the nice surrounding of my area, do cycling or walking tours, meet my friends with you and go to Poitiers, which is a very nice university town. I travel a lot ( so some months of a year I'm abroad) and I have contacts with foreign students in Poitiers. I like the ecologique way of live, I like to live simple and happy.

Offering food and accommodation in exchange for help in the gardens and elsewhere on the land. The project is to grow all the food needed for a small number of people in a way that benefits biodiversity as well as soil health and human health. The gardens are inspired by perma-culture principles, we are growing annual crops together with perennial plants, that will slowly expand, becoming food forest. We prefer to use as little machinery as possible. Nearly everything is done by hand. This year we will cut a large meadow by scythe, replacing the use of tractor. We eat vegan and organic, mostly from the garden. There are no domestic animals on the farm, but many wild ones. We ask for around 25 hours of work per week. The work typically involves a wide variety of tasks, depending on the season. Volunteers will have some flexibility about what tasks they do and when they do it, so it will not be only weeding or tedious jobs. Only a small part of the land is farmed, the rest is left wild t...

Bonjour à tous ! Nous sommes éleveur de chevaux arabes, arabe-barbes et anglo-arabes et nous avons une trentaine de chevaux en moyenne, dont des retraités, des poulains, et des adultes qui sont montés. Nos autres animaux sont 2 chiens, un malinois guide de chevaux, et une micro beagle réformée des laboratoires, et des poules qui vivent en liberté. Il est donc primordial d'aimer aussi les chiens, car les deux là sont très invasifs pour avoir des câlins... Notre discipline sportive est l'endurance, et nous il nos arrive de faire des des compétitions plus ou moins longues, de 20 à 120 km ou plus. Evidemment le cheval est notre passion, et nous aimons partager avec tous ceux qui ont la même passion que nous. J'accueillerais une cavalière, ou un cavalier (très léger si c'est un garçon ), souriante et sympa, qui bavarde, pour monter à cheval avec moi, une fois le matin et une fois l'après-midi en général, selon la météo (on ne va pas se faire souffrir !) et ce que j'ai d'autres à faire...

We are a small organic olive farm, not yet in commercial production and animal refuge. We practice permaculture and the olives are part of a `forest garden` which also includes 200 cork oaks, carob and other trees and shrubs. We also have a vegetable garden and fruit trees . Our rescued animals include dogs, cats, a house pig, donkeys, a goat, ducks, rescue rabbits and worms!. Living in a Mediterranean climate we practice several different methods of water recycling and have a biological swimming pool. Help is required with all aspects of a compassionate, sustainable lifestyle. Meals are vegan, wine is served with the evening meal and we are non smoking. Current projects are forestry care, garden management - watering & weed/feed for animals,animal care, plus all the everyday tasks that are part of everyday communal sustainable living. The olive harvest is late October. Normally up to 4 helpers are here at a time, living as part of a family style community. We ask a minimum commitment...

H-E-L-P !!!!!! I am drowning. I am not drowning at sea, nor in a river, but I am drowning in work. I need a helper! My last helper has just left. Now I am alone! I am quite a bit over 80 and the farm gives me too much to do. I intend to leave France at the end of the year, so quite a number of things have to be done. Together with my husband we could have managed, but unfortunately he died a few years ago. so I was left alone. I do as much as I can and my helper definitely does not have to be outside working in the sun. but there is quite a lot of work still. I am hoping to hear from some kind and helpful person soon. Nothing too hard work, but continuous help is needed. Thank you if you decide to come. It is a small farm. The whole area is 3.5 ha, but the garden area is only 1 ha. The rest I have let for someone to let his cows graze. We used to have bees and later on, when my husband was ill, we sold the bees and had very many special geese and ducks, peacocks, pheasants an...

I am an Irish filmmaker, recently relocated to France. I have just bought a 150 year old French Manor House(20+ rooms) and two giant barns, which I am converting into an independent film studio, as well as a recording studio and artists studios. I plan to run Kino Kabaret filmmaking events here as well as writer retreats and film industry masterclasses. I also plan to hold outdoor theatre in the summer. I also love to cook and try new dishes so look forward to cooking with travellers. Outside there is an in ground swimming pool which needs to be repaired in time for summer Inside the house it is mainly painting and decorating as I bring the various salons and bedrooms back to their former glory. I need to lay floor tiles in a few rooms and wood in a couple more. In the barns I need help building a 30 seat cinema/screening room, editing suites as well as the recording studio. Altogether there are a huge amount of tasks and something suitable to all skill levels. Helpers will have their ...

Experiment the French countryside in a modern house Hi Champagne travelers ! I’m a Valérie, 60 yo and I live by myself in a modern home in the countryside of the “Marne” 45min away from Reims and 10min away from Châlons-en-Champagne I have 2 adult daughters, one leaving in Lille in the North of France and the other traveling and being a helper abroad ! I have a large plot of land around my house, a small orchard and a lot of shrubs and plants. I’ve rented my daughter’s room on airbnb for several years so I'm used to welcome people in my house but as I live alone sometimes it’s hard to take care of the property by myself and that’s why I would be keen on welcoming from time to time some helpers ! I prioritize short stays of 1 or 2 weeks - mainly during march, april, october, november. Or house keeping when iam traveling. You would stay on the first floor with your own room and bathroom and we share the rest of the house. There’s Wi-Fi and the television. You would be provided 3 meals...

Hello helpers travellers We live in the French Alps, in Maurienne, in a ski resort : Les Sybelles. We are a couple of 40 yo, with a super sportive dog, Loulou. We're looking for helpers for now, for the month of October. Since early July we're back from a 3 months road trip through Scandinavian (2 months in Norway) and Baltic countries. Automn has started and colours are stoning ! We live close to Le Corbier in a little wooden chalet, almost lost in the forest, accessible by walking (20 min) or by quad. It is at 1500m altitude. Easier if you have your own car to travel around but all good if you don't. The Corbier is accessible by a walk. We can come to pick you up in St Jean de Maurienne, the nearest town. Hitch hiking works well. It's a wooden chalet, that we're restoring and it will be our main home for now and near future. It relies on solar panel and spring source. We're tend to be self sustainable and autonomous. We have 4 hen and we enjoy their eggs. We do a lot of our own ...

Bonjour everybody, We are a couple with 1 daughter (11 years old), 1 cat and 1 dog. We need help in the garden, and in the house. Tasks: Starting Springtime: the most important help we need would be gardening especially weeding. Other than that, you can help with household and cooking: cleaning the house, washing clothes, folding them, cooking (simple dishes makes us happy too) . On weekends you would be free to do anything, either relax or discover the region. You can see on our profiles some references of previous helpers, and thanks to them the house and garden are much nicer and we had great time together. Our dog (a 11 years old Wiener) and our cat are both allowed in the house and friendly. Etienne works from home, Monika is at her shop for most of the day. When at home (2 days /week), she loves to spend time with Chloé, and cooking;) We are always open to your DIY suggestions, right now on the list we have some things to fix like: - placing outside lights, flower pots, s...
