🏢 About the local organisation
Discover castle life in the heart of the Auvergne at Les Prureaux! But it's much more than just an experience: it's about living, laughing, sharing and above all contributing together!
Come and play your part in the restoration of the wall that surrounds the estate! And take part in a project that is as local as it is historic: enhancing the value of a site typical of Bourbonnais agricultural activity and promoting the development of our international visitor centre.
💼 What the programme involves
This year, we'll be continuing the tradition by rehabilitating the estate's perimeter walls. Activities will include erecting the scaffolding, preparing the site by selecting the stones and setting up the formwork, assembling the stones, rehabilitating the base, creating the roof using small Bourbonnais tiles, applying a traditional finishing coat, and repairing the old stoneworks.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be staying at the Le Créneau campsite, in shared tents (6-8 people per tent) with wooden floors and beds. Wi-Fi is not available on site. Food will be provided and prepared in the castle's kitchen by the participants in groups.
