📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
You will participate in an international workcamp organized by Concordia and the town of Bareilles, in the region of Hautes-Pyrénées. Following the restoration of a mill, the municipality wishes to de-vegetation and clean the surroundings to create a picnic area for hikers.
💼 What the programme involves
You will reshape the surroundings of the mill starting with the devegetalization of a stone wall. You will participate in the careful restoration of the wall using high quality and natural materials. You will also be chopping trees that are at risk of falling into the stream, or that don’t fit into the surroundings. Finally, you’ll have to relocate a small chapel. To do this, you will prepare the supporting structures and reassemble the chapel at the intersection of a path to insure its better visibility.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in tents, with access to sanitary facilities and a kitchen. In turns you will take part in the preparation of meals and the organization of your daily life (scheduling, cleaning, shopping, etc.). We will encourage you to purchase local and seasonal products.

If you want, you can bring your own tent. And remember to take a bathing suit as well in case we might go swimming. Don’t hesitate to bring specialties from home such as photos, games, musical instruments, etc.
