Descripción:
Morlhon-Le-Haut is a little village perched on a hill surrounded with woods. It offers a beautiful view over the little medieval and fortified city of Villefranche de Rouergue. This project focuses on the renovation of a little stone bridge spanning a stream in the woods. It is located in a small valley that sheltered a lot of human activities : mills, smithies, mines etc... The bridge was almost destroyed by a rise of the river some fifty years ago. This project is the third collaboration between Citrus and the municipality of Morlhon-Le-Haut.
Your task will consist of the last part of the bridge restoration. You will be working in a beautiful natural place to finish the second arch of the bridge. To do this, you will be placing stones on the bridge to build small stone security walls and path. The final part of the project will consist of cleaning pedestrian paths that pass through the bridge and setting up picnic tables and signs. Your technical leader is an enthusiastic municipal employee who will help you learn traditional masonry. Be ready to work hard and carry big heavy stones.

Location : Morlhon le Haut is located 135 km North-East of Toulouse, between Cahors and Rodez.

On the second weekend you will be invited to take part in the local traditional festival in which the local youth offer flowers to each household in the village!
