About the project

The Washerwomens' Lake

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

After several “civic days” where the inhabitants came together to work on the restoration of the Audry lake -an old wash house- the site recovered its exceptional charm. You will continue the work in this setting by clearing the place and with the help of passionate local residents- you will learn the region’s traditional technique of building dry stone walls.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will stay in tents next to a charming open space with a kitchen and an outdoor lounge and you will have access to toilets and showers. This place is usually used to host the film festival organised by the community.

📍 About the location
