🏢 About the local organisation
Between the Vercors mountains and the Provence region, the pretty village of Etoile sur Rhône will welcome an international workcamp like every summer for more than 40 years! Thousands of volunteers have participated through the years in the renovation of the paved alleys and historical monuments of the village, which has a rich cultural heritage. You will be delighted by the Drôme Valley: people interested in cultural history will not regret coming here. You can also be part of this adventure! http://www.etoilesurrhone.fr/s-informer/galerie-photo-video#dossier-498 http://www.ville-etoilesurrhone.fr
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will continue the enhancement work on the territory of the town, in order to maintain the pleasant living environment. You will follow in the footsteps of your predecessors and carry out this work under the direction of a technical leader.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be staying in the "Pénitents" chapel located in Etoile-sur-Rhône’s town centre! Refurbished by previous international volunteers, this building is now comfortable: there are dorms, toilets and showers, a shared kitchen and a huge communal lounge for spending time with other volunteers (ping pong table available)! A washing machine will be made available to the volunteers. Each volunteer will participate in everyday household tasks (cleaning, doing the dishes
). Meals will be prepared in groups : feel free to bring culinary specialities from your home country and your favourite recipe to share with everybody ! We cannot take care of you if you arrive before the starting date of the project, or if you stay after.
