Wow - thanks for letting me know. It hadn't dawned on me about legalities, as it would be a mutually agreeable arrangement done on trust etc. Also, I have a friend who uses volunteers absolutely loads and has done for a long time.

This is a long shot but ... would anyone fancy trying out life in France near Carcassonne for up to 6 months (or more - could be flexible!) in a very pretty popular village for FREE?!?! Instead of rent (bills e.g. electric would have to be paid though ...) we are looking for folks who fancy working on a house project: something simple like painting shutters and windows or more complicated such as dry-lining, plastering and rendering ... house is habitable at the moment for 2, but would need work doing to it to access a very nice children's room (sleeps up to 5!). Please contact for more details or advice on this sort of project ... thanks x
