About the project

LA BÂTIE ROLLAND

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In the 12th century, Lord Rolland built a castle and a chapel on top of a hill: La Bâtie Rolland was born. Today, unfortunately, only the ramparts remain from this castle. As for the Saint-Roch chapel, it still dominates the village, built below the hill. Attached to their village, the inhabitants will be happy to tell you its story. The town has recently set up an orientation table on the site of the Saint Roch chapel to enjoy a 220° view of the Rhône Valley. Used by many visitors and hikers, the access path to the site is today in a bad state, so you will participate in its restoration.

💼 What the programme involves

Starting from the Théâtre de Verdure, the access path is regularly maintained by the municipal services. Your mission will mainly be to consolidate the existing steps and retaining walls. You will probably also have to create new steps. The trail is quite narrow, so you will work in small groups on different sections of the trail. You will be supervised by a municipal agent, a craftsman and local volunteers who will be happy to share with you their know-how and the history of this place. The site is a 15/20 minutes walk from your accommodation. You will walk to the work site and work 4 to 5 hours a day.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Located outside the village center, you will be accommodated in tents at the municipal football stadium. On site, you will have toilets, shower and an fully furnished kitchen. Meals will be prepared by the volunteers and you will be required to take part in daily tasks (cooking, washing up, cleaning). Accommodation is located 10/15 minutes by foot from the village center and the shops.

📍 About the location

Located in Drôme Provençale, La Bâtie Rolland is a village of 1,945 inhabitants. You can stroll through the cobbled alleys of the old center and discover this village and its rich history. You can go to Montélimar by bus and discover its lively and colorful center. You will also be offered activities by local associations (hiking, initiation to pétanque, visiting neighboring villages).
