About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Fort de Jouy sous les Côtes is a former military castle built in 1885 in Géville, a village located in Lorraine. The association, Friends of the Fort de Jouy have dedicated many years to perserving and restoring this historic monument.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will work to restore this castle with local French volunteers by conducting various tasks such as masonry, painting, and maintenance work. The tasks can be hard and physical at times so volunteers should be prepared to work!

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay inside the site’s fort on beds and mattresses, please, however, bring a WARM sleeping bad as it can get very cold at night even in July!
