Project: At the foot of the Massif du Dvoluy, in the Hautes-Alpes, there stand the remains of the castle of Lesdiguires, at the entrance of a hamlet of the same name, in the district of Glaizil. This castle was built in the 16th century by Franois de Bonne, the future duke of Lesdiguires and the last constable of France. Only the ruins of the old chapel, the towers, and broken down sections of the walls can be found at the site of this once-grand castle, ranked as a French national historic monument. The general council of the owners of the site, and the association of Lesdiguires, have decided to preserve this element of local history and to bring it back to life. It is with this effort in mind that, since 2010, a dynamic partnership has formed with Les Villages des Jeunes to organize a international youth workcamp each year. Work: In 2013, a field program focused on repairing a section of the surrounding wall took place. Beginning in 2014, this program will continue with the improvements of the walls of the old stables. These improvements will take place under the supervision of an archaeological overseer and will give you the opportunity to discover techniques of traditional masonry. Leisure activities: You will be able to organize hikes, swimming trips, sports and games, and sightseeing tours in the surrounding areas. During your free time, you will also be able to organize events with locals such as international meals, joint workcamp days, parties, festivities Accommodation: in tents on the St. Firmin campgrounds Location: Lesdiguires, district of Glaizil (30km from Gap) Nearest train station: Gap
