📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Come and try the castle life in the heart of Auvergne! But no misunderstanding: in this place, we live, we laugh, we share, but above all, we contribute! Take part in a territorial and historical project! Be part of it by helping us to rehabilitate the surrounding wall of the domain! Come to enhance a typical site of “bourbonnaise“ agricultural activity and allow our international hosting centre to evolve!

💼 What the programme involves

In line with previous years, this project will consist of rehabilitating the surrounding walls of the estate by setting the scaffolding, preparing the site: selection of stones and preparation of formwork, by stoning masonry, roofing using small Bourbonnaise tiles and by making a traditional finishing plaster.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be hosted on Le Créneau’s camping, in collective tents (5-6 persons per tent) with wooden floor and beds. Wi-fi is not available on site. Food will be provided and prepared in the kitchen of the castle by the participants in groups, with the support of the cooking staff.

📍 About the location

Montcombroux les Mines (45kms away from Moulins) Leisure activities: Afternoons and weekends are planned collectively with the group leaders. If you want to discover the cities around, Vichy and Moulins are 45 km away. If you\'d rather have a nice walk in the nature, the surroundings are perfect for hiking, landscape seeing, discovering local markets, swim, and enjoy sports activities and games.
