THE ENCHANTED RUINS

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Your arrival will be a dream come true for the residents wishing to welcoming young international volunteers into their village. La Rouquette is a beautiful and typical village in the south of France. Surrounded by its stone houses, nature trails, and small rivers, you will rediscover the pleasure of breathing and living in plain nature. Along with the other volunteers coming from different backgrounds, you will share the everyday life of residents as you immerse yourself in the village to discover the rural French culture.

💼 What the programme involves

In this workcamp, you will clean and restore the ruins in the center of the village, and create nature trails. You will be accompanied by a technical supervisor who will explain all the tasks to be completed little by little.
