French retirees travel the world using house-sitting

French retirees Claudine and Jean-Louis Munar, aged 74 and 75, are able to travel the world three times a year despite a monthly pension of 2,400 euros. They achieve this by using the house-sitting platform ‘DomSitting’.

By living in others' homes while the owners are away, the couple provides services such as pet care, plant watering, and mail collection in exchange for free accommodation. This arrangement allows them to avoid costs for rent, utilities, and water. According to Claudine, the method saves the couple nearly 5,000 euros annually, leaving them to cover only food and fuel costs.

Through this practice, the couple has visited various locations in France, including Charente-Maritime, Carpentras, and Saone-et-Loire, often staying in high-end homes with gardens or pools.
