About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The town of "Grand-Village", a resort in southwest "Oléron" Island, by the Atlantic, is a loyal partner (since 1996). For some years now, the intercommunity has worked to enhance the local lifestyle, since the 19th century. It relies on the Oléron's traditional cottage, reflecting the insular life in the late 19th century. In order to restore this "eco-farmhouse", due to be a site to explore and experience, local municipalities have again wished to set a workcamp.

💼 What the programme involves

Supervised by a professional in building, we'll restore and construct dry stone walls enclosing this traditional cottage. You'll acquire numerous traditional stone masonry and cutting methods.

🏠 Accommodation on site

📍 About the location
