About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Chateauneuf inhabitants are committed to the transmission of their history and the valorization of their heritage for the many visitors. Built around a medieval town, whose towers and ramparts remain, the town has undertaken to transform the access road to the ramparts into a botanical path. Unfortunately, this project has never been completed and is now dangerous for users. The municipality wishes to host a workcamp of international volunteers to achieve this valuable project.

💼 What the programme involves

Your mission will be the redevelopment of the botanical path: arranging of the trail entrance, construction of a retaining wall, refurbishment of long-step stairs, widening of the trail, identification of the parts to be struck and then clearing of the rocky parts. Plantations and educational devices, such as botanical signboards, will complete the work. To carry out this work you will be supervised by the technical service agents who will be happy to share their know-how with you. The hotel is a 15-minute walk away. You will walk to the work site and work 4 to 5 hours a day.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in the assembly hall known as "the upper room" where you will have a fully equipped kitchen, a shower and toilets. You will sleep on mattresses on the floor and enjoy the outdoor space in front of the room as well as the playground and the petanque field. You will be involved in the preparation of group meals and housework.

📍 About the location

Accompanied by the heritage association, you will be able to visit the old center of the village and go up to the old ramparts. Up there you will discover an incredible panorama on the Rhone valley. Buses run to Montelimar, the capital of nougat. A meeting with local youth will also be organized. Finally, the locals and associations’ volunteers will be delighted to show you their terroir: walk along the Rhône, market, visit of Viviers (Ardèche)... Finally, you will take part in the activities of the village.
