📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Since 2010 Concordia works with the Community of Communes « La Domitienne ». The project will be held in Maraussan, an exceptional vineyard commune located in the Hérault department approximately 8 km away from Béziers nearby the Orb River. The landscape diversity plus the rich cultural heritage are remarkable in the region. You will have the chance to discover the chapel of Notre-Dame de la Providence, Perdiguier castle or the wash house. The purpose of this project will be to enhance the latter by paving the access between the fountain and the wash house.
💼 What the programme involves
You will start to replace the pavement in concrete between the fountain and the wash house with a traditional one. You will also work on the wall cladding between the spillway and the old school for girls. Finally, you will participate in clearing around the wash house.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in tents on the stadium of the village, with boys and girls separated. Inside the stadium you will have access to the kitchen, toilets, showers and the collective living space. Bring your sleeping bag (and a tent if you want to take yours). You will participate to the preparation of meals in turns. We'll favour the local products and the short supply circuits.
