Nestled in an amazingly beautiful area, in south-eastern France at the top of a hill, surrounded by forests of oaks and chestnuts, various tasks are being carried out to rebuild the site, whilst respecting the traditional construction techniques. The volunteer project consists in the restoration of dry-stone buildings, under the supervision of the local worksite team. You work mainly in the morning, you can take a rest in the afternoon, enjoy swimming in the local river, go hiking along the local footpaths… You start work again from 5 to 7 pm.
