Work, live & enjoy life on a 17th-century estate in the South of France.
Wilna has been welcoming helpers from all over the world for many years. Originally Dutch, she now spends most of her time in the South of France. She has a large 17th-century house in the village of Moux (Aude), and a farm with a small wooden cabin 18 km from the village.
Wilna grows fruit and nut trees. Work ranges from renovation and building to planting; there is always something to do, whether you are an experienced volunteer or want to learn new skills. Typically 14 days minimum, around 25 hours per week.

"Wilna and Omar made me feel like I was spending time with old friends. Omar was like a brother, he taught me an incredible amount about construction. Priceless."
"Wilna lives in Moux, a small quiet village. I had a nice room on the second floor and enjoyed many pleasant shared meals. Wilna is very hospitable and easy to get along with."
