LOCATION: Chaspinhac has 800 inhabitants and is located 15km north of Le Puy-en-Velay city (no transportation to go to the city). It’s a village with a huge history which attracts tourists and hikers, especially with its preserved environment. Several sites have environmental protection: the Loire’s Gorges, the Loire’s Valley. One of the hiking path crosses the Saint-Quentin site and offers a beautiful view on the Loire’s Gorges. The hamlet of Saint-Quentin, built during the 19th century, hosted farms years ago. Deserted for 70 years, the buildings are becoming ruins. You will be proposed some activities during your stay: visits, hikings, excursions… This workcamp is for those who like nature and are really interested in the environmental/ecological dimension.
