📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The workcamp will take place at the REV's permanent home, a former vacation camp at an altitude of 1,200m. The site is located at the foot of Mont-Lozère in the heart of the Cévennes. The REV took over the site in the spring of 2022 and hopes to make it a place of welcome, exchange and encounter. This project will be part of the transformation of the colony into a socio-cultural living space.
💼 What the programme involves
The main aim of this project will be to redefine the outdoor circulation areas of the association's site. You'll need to clear some of the overgrown vegetation around the existing steps. You'll create wooden and stone staircases around the central part of the colony. Your group will decide on the number of paths that cross this area, to transform this wasteland into a venue for various events. You'll then put up low stone walls and demarcate the spaces. Particular attention will be paid to preserving the young tree shoots around the steps. You will work 20h/week.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The workcamp will take place in a particularly isolated area, where you will be accommodated on the REV site in individual tents (remember to bring your sleeping bag). You will have access to sanitary facilities close to the camp. What's more, if weather conditions deteriorate too much for camping, a shelter a few meters away will be available. Meals will be provided and prepared in turn by participants.
📍 About the location
The project will take place in the southern part of Mont-Lozère, the nearest town is Mende.
Leisure activities : Far from the French metropolises, Lozère is nonetheless a very dynamic region. The region's activities revolve around local festivities, concerts and unspoilt natural areas (mountains, rivers, forests). Shaped by erosion, this territory is criss-crossed by several watercourses, geological formations such as the causses and numerous forests of many species. A wide variety of flora and fauna have been preserved here thanks to the low human density of recent centuries.
