The castle terraces

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Château de Fage and its chapel are classified as historical monuments. This magnificent building dominates the Dordogne valley and the small town of St Cyprien. Acquired by an architect passionate about history in the 80s, the castle has been managed for around thirty years by an association which was formed around its safeguard and renovation. The members of the association becaming olds, the castle has been dormant for ten years and a new generation of volunteers are now hard at work to revive a dynamic. This year, the purpose of the site is to rework on the surroundings of the castle, in the courtyard and on the terraces, but above all to bring a strong presence to the territory, by opening up the site spaces and the convivial times to people from the territory and tourists in order to participate in the revival of the associative project.

💼 What the programme involves

You will take part to the recovery of the retaining walls of several terraces and their de-vegetation in order to make the surroundings of the castle visible and accessible. You will also ensure the resumption of a well curb and external stair steps between the terraces.

🏠 Accommodation on site

📍 About the location

You will build your activity program together, based on the possible outdoor activities around us.
