About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The city of Saint-Christophe-sur-Dolaison includes numerous old towns and covers now 27 km. The city is very attached to its heritage witnessing from history and wishes to welcome a volunteers workcamp in order to restore it and enhance it for the summer visitors. You will also perform environmental maintenance work on the Santiago de Compostela trail.

💼 What the programme involves

The workcamp will be about the town s various heritage elements: restoration of a bread oven, arranging of a wash house and masonry on a drinker. In this work, you will be supervised by the municipal officials and technical agents. You will work 4 to 5 hours a day, sometimes divided in small groups. As those sites are in the town s center, you will be most frequently brought there by car.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated in tents on the former football pitch and you will use the toilets and showers in the former changing rooms. There will be a kitchen area on site. You will take part in the collective cooking and household tasks.

📍 About the location

927 people live in Saint-Christophe-sur-Dolaison. It is a deeply rural community, but it has a very rich religious heritage such as the church made from volcanic stones, labeled as a historical monument. You can also visit the numerous caves on the Roche area and its mill. Finally, the inhabitants will be happy to show you their region: visit of Puy-en-Velay and the surrounding area, meeting with local associations, hiking...

⚠️ Requirements

The heritage restoration will allow you to acquire masonry knowledge: old technique, mortar making and restoration of built elements as well as landscaping techniques. Working as a team, with both technical leaders and other volunteers, you will develop your listening skills, adaptability and versatility, rigor and tenacity. Those are skills you will also strengthen through group life.
