🏢 About the local organisation
Revive the local heritage by restoring a chapel and experience the richness of the Aude region.
In southern France, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees mountains, Feuilla is in the middle of the Corbières rocky hills in the Aude country. Its ancestral activities (wine making, cereal agriculture and bee-keeping) largely impacted the landscape. However, a rich flora remains within the scrubland. In this small village with less than a hundred inhabitants, away from the main tourist routes, 10 km of the coastline, you will be surrounded by the Mediterranean nature. You will have the opportunity to visit both the natural heritage (Botanical garden of Foncaude, continental shelf of Leucate, Regional Natural Park of the Narbonnaise…) and the cultural heritage nearby Feuilla (village of Opoul-Perillos, Cathar castles …). This second workcamp aims at cleaning the interior of Feuilla’s chapel.
💼 What the programme involves
You will participate to various restoration works in the interior of the chapel such as brushing the walls to get rid of dirt then you will focus on enhancing the inside walls by remaking the coatings.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In tents. They will be provided but you can also bring yours. You will participate to the preparation of meals in turns. We'll favour the local products and the short supply circuits.
