About the project

THE MILL OF CRO-MAGNON

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In the heart of the Vallée de l'Homme, world-renowned for its historical and prehistoric heritage, the village of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil is delighted to be hosting an international project for its second year! Within the framework of a "positive energy territory" program, the Communauté de communes is considering the commissioning of a hydroelectric power plant on the site of the former mill: it is up to you to bring your positive energy to the start of this project!

💼 What the programme involves

It is about clearing the ruins of the old mill (manual clearing) and clearing the sand from the diversion bays (water inflows); after the floods of this past winter, there will not be a shortage of work! Construction work will also be organised in the small villages around which have just been welcomed into the new and larger village of Les Eyzies de Tayac - Sireuil.

🏠 Accommodation on site

In tents with kitchen and sanitary facilities. Meals will be provided and you will have the opportunity to prepare them in turns.

📍 About the location

Location: Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil is 45 km from Périgueux, and 20 km from Sarlat-la-Canéda. Leisure activities: During your free time, you can discover the surroundings that the Vézère river has sculpted for thousands of years: troglodytic sites, caves... You can also enjoy water sports activities (canoeing, swimming…) Local associations and villagers will be happy to share friendly moments with you.
