PROTECTING HERITAGE 1
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Since 2015, we have had a very strong partnership with the town of Clermont-l'Herault and local associations that promote the discovery of local heritage.
Our delegation's offices are located in the town. We carry out several volunteer projects aimed at young people in the area. We work closely with volunteers from local heritage preservation associations. This project, which involves showcasing dry stone huts along the communal path, contributes to promoting the town's heritage.
💼 What the programme involves
Do you love heritage and nature and want to make yourself useful ? Come and help restore the stone huts along the trails of Clermont-l'Herault.
The municipality wants to maintain its trails on the hill overlooking the town for the enjoyment of hikers. Discover the rich heritage of the municipality, such as the capitelles (dry stone huts). Your work will consist of enhancing the site by renovating these capitelles, carrying out small landscaping works, and installing engaging signage.
This work is essential for maintaining the trail while allowing visitors, walkers, and curious people to come and discover this rich heritage. An edifying experience that combines ancestral know-how, creativity, and intercultural encounters !
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in individual tents provided by Concordia in the grounds of the Château des Guilhem, which offers stunning views of the city. You must bring your own camping mattress and sleeping bag. Toilets will be available in the castle outbuildings, and showers will be provided by the sports clubs.
A large tent will be set up as a living space with a dining area. Community life will be at the heart of the experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be given to the activity team, and you will help with shopping and meal preparation, focusing on healthy, local produce.
📍 About the location
Clermont-l'Herault is a charming little town located north of Montpellier in the south of France. Enjoying a Mediterranean climate and a remarkable natural environment (Lake Salagou, the rivers of the Gorges de l'Herault nearby), it also has a rich cultural heritage with its castle and cathedral.
In the heart of a preserved setting, you can enjoy outdoor activities and make cultural and festive discoveries.
