📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Lattes is a dynamic, modern town in the Montpellier metropolitan area. The town attracts many tourists in the summer thanks to its proximity to the beaches of Palavas and Carnon and the city of Montpellier, which is accessible by tram. This is our third project with this local authority, which is keen to continue its dynamic partnership with a project bringing together local and international young people.
You'll be able to take advantage of the outdoor activities on offer in the commune, as well as the festivities organised during this period. It's definitely a great project !
💼 What the programme involves
Who has never dreamt of being in the dressing room of a theatre? We're offering you the chance to immerse yourself in the Jacques CÅur theatre in the beautiful town of Lattes!

You'll also have the privilege of maintaining, cleaning and checking the stage equipment under the supervision of the theatre's official stage manager.
