🏢 About the local organisation

After the success of two projects to redevelop the walking path leading to the Grotte de la Madeleine, the town of Moustiers Sainte Marie, one of the most beautiful villages in France, wishes to welcome a new team of volunteers in order to promote its rich heritage.

💼 What the programme involves

This year, the project will focus on the development of the descent of the apiés wall. An apiés wall is a dry stone wall in which niches intended to accommodate hives were built. The work will consist of: - Cleaning and clearing the path - Scrape and clean the steps - Restoration of the steps at the top - Laying steps (using stones on the path) on the lower part. This workcamp will allow you to understand many techniques. The technical supervisor, accustomed to working with young international volunteers, will be delighted to share his know-how with you. You will work in an exceptional environment

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in the building adjoining the Church, located in the center of the village. The sanitary facilities and kitchen will be at your disposal. You will participate in the collective preparation of meals and the tasks of daily life. You will go to the construction site on foot (around 10 minutes).
