🏢 About the local organisation
During this workcamp the volunteers will share the activities with disabled persons (light intellectual disability). The group will be composed of French and international volunteers and also volunteers coming from a specialized institute to work on the castle of the city. The feudal castle of the Guilhems was built on the top of a small hill in Clermont l'Hérault. It overhangs the city and offers a magnificent view on all the valley of the Hérault. The volunteers will have the possibility to do various activities in this place, at the heart of the vineyard lands.
