📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Let's your creativity run wild: you have the floor, on the banks of the Dordogne river. For two years, the municipality of Lalinde welcomes with enjoyment international workcamps. This old fortified-town of the XIIth century composed of 3000 inhabitants, is located in the South of the department of Dordogne, in Purple Périgord, ground of vineyards.

💼 What the programme involves

During this workcamp, following on from the former workcamps of 2015 and 2016, you will renovate one room of the magnificent “Montard House”, along the Dordogne river. The main part of the project will be dedicated to the “Book Festival”, organised by the municipality: you will help with logistical aspects, and will use your creativity to be involved in this local project, and express yourself. This event will be a great occasion to share and exchange about your culture with locals!
