📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The feudal castle of Guilhem was built in the 12th century at the top of Clermont l'Hérault's hill. It overlooks the city by offering a magnificent sight on the valley of the Hérault River. The visit of the castle is a pleasant stroll within a historical site with beautiful Mediterranean landscapes. The project consists in cleaning and clearing the outskirts of the castle. Volunteers will also take part in several social and cultural activities organized in Clermont l’Hérault and in the Salagou Lake by the local community.
💼 What the programme involves
You will clean the outskirts of the castle of Guillem and clear the area of undergrowth to make the access to the castle more pleasant.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In tents on the Salagou Lake camping site (boys and girls separated). If you have your own tent, you can bring it. Bring your sleeping bag and camping mat. You will participate to the preparation of meals in turns. We'll favour the local products and the short supply circuits.
