🏢 About the local organisation
Le Pian-sur-Garonne is a commune in a hilly corner of the Entre-Deux-Mers region whose church has an imposing bell tower overlooking the Garonne valley. The village is especially known for its large number of pretty little wine-growing huts. The commune therefore wished to highlight these vineyard huts again, and called on Concordia to create an educational walking trail.
The project is also made with a desire to accompany and involve the local population with the team of volunteers from the international workcamp. That’s the reason why several workcamps will run at the same time (Saint Macaire and Verdelais).

💼 What the programme involves
Get involved in the heritage project for a small village in the heart of the Bordeaux vineyards. For wine lovers!
A vineyard hut, or vineyard lodge, is a small isolated rural construction, made of dry stones or plant materials, built in a vineyard plot. In order to prepare the creation of a future educational trail around this real cultural heritage, you will participate in the cleaning of the grounds and the renovation of several of these wine huts. You will also take part in the marking out of the discovery trail of these local singularities, typical of this wine-growing region.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in tents. You will have at your disposal a collective room where you will share the different collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the group leaders; you will participate in the grocery shopping and the preparation of the meals, opting for healthy and local products.
