🏢 About the local organisation
Toutencourt is a small village of 500 inhabitants on the North of Amiens. In the heart of the village there is a « feudal clod » which means the ruins of a Middle Age castle. Archeological excavations took place and brought to life the importance of the site. In partnership with the tourism office of “Pays du Coquelicot”, the village of Toutencourt and local associations, your task will be to enhance this area in order to develop visits and tourism.
💼 What the programme involves
Various tasks are planned: construction of a stone well coping, cleaning and brushing around the ditches and staging the routes of the former walls of the Castel highlighted by the archeological excavations.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated under tents and will use the reception hall, with all equipment (dishwasher, oven...), for the daily life. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together.
