Take action with the residents of Isle to renovate the millstream!
Concordia's previous workcamp had made it possible to renovate part of the Moulin de Meynieux forebay, the canal that diverts water to the mill. The municipality wishes to continue on this path, and thus strengthen the link between the residents and the international participants.
Following on from last year, you will participate in the renovation of the Meynieux millstream using traditional lime-masonry techniques. Brushing and repointing are on the schedule.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated at the stadium close to local sportsmen and women, where you will sleep in tents. You will have the chance to experience collective lifestyle, work together on different tasks for example preparing the meals. With the budget assigned to the group, the participants will buy healthy, local products.
📍 About the location

Woods, clearings and farms mingle with the numerous castles and manor houses in the city while enjoying the urban proximity offered by the town of Limoges, 5 minutes away.
There are many hiking trails along the Aurence River. You could also go to Saint-Leonard-de-Noblat, a beautiful city with a rich architectural heritage.
