THE LAVOIR AT THE END OF THE WORLD

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Montignac became world-renowned as well as one of the cradles of humanity after the discovery of the Lascaux cave on its territory. Built on the banks of the Vézère river, the small town is full of culture and tourists buzzing about during the summer. Nevertheless, the municipality does not forget the town's small and discreet local heritage, a testimony to the life of our ancestors. Not too far away, public wash houses are waiting for you to regain all their past glory and the municipal technical team will also offer you the opportunity to help them in their daily work - repair and maintenance in the village, preparation for and securing for weekly markets, and occasional events. Masonry, brushing, scouring, bent-oil, multiple encounters, collective work, and good vibes are all on the schedule!
