About the project

THE DRONNE VALLEY STAIRS

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In the far west of the Dordogne region, La Roche Chalais, village of 3000 inhabitants, is crossed by the Greenwich meridian. It is located on a limestone promontory overlooking the river "Dronne", surrounded by beautiful forests. The Municipality is committed in areas related to youth and is happy to host you during these three weeks of workcamp.

💼 What the programme involves

You will work in rebuilding stairs made of dirt and acacia wood. These stairs are very much used during the summer season and located along the Dronne valley. Your work will have a direct impact and will make the stairs practicable for the full season. First, you will be clearing the immediate environment and then, you will dismantle the existing stairs of acacia logs. Next, you will cut acacia sections, and work on the clay marches by landscaping the ground, filling and levelling it. This work does not require any special technical skills, only motivation and happiness!

🏠 Accommodation on site

at the municipal camping ground, located along the Dronne river.

📍 About the location

During your free time, you will have plenty to do: canoeing, tree climbing, swimming, hiking, visiting an organic farm, going to the cinema or to the library, joining activities in partnership with the leisure center. Local associations and inhabitants will be happy to share friendly time with you.
