CHANAZ 2 – Come to discover the little Venice from Savoy

*** VERSION EN FRANCAIS DISPONIBLE EN FIN DE DESCRIPTION *** *** French version at the end of the description *** Located on the banks of the Savieres canal, which lead peacefully to the Lac du Bourget, come to discover the charm of this small village considered as the little Venice from Savoy. The old fortified house of Chanaz, known as « Grande Maison de Boigne » is an ancient building from the 13th century which still stands today in the heart of the village. The fortified house of Chanaz is hosting nowadays the service of the town hall. This outstanding heritage site has been the subject of various restorations in the past. The municipality wishes to continue the work begun many years ago and has wished to associate with Concordia in order to realize an international work camp of volunteers which will have the aim to renovate a stone enclosure wall. In the continuation of the first work camp realized in 2019, you will be working at the renovation of a stone wall which surrounds the Maison De Boigne. You will be working at the cleaning of the wall (to remove the vegetation and the coating) then at ancient masonry (installing the stones and lime coatings). Finally you will make a cover to protect the wall from rain. You will be guided by a technical leader who will teach you his knowledge in ancient masonry. This workcamp doesn’t require any special competences. However, it will be necessary to manipulate the stones which are already at the site. Your motivation and your ability to work in a team are your assets for this project.
