Montlieu la Garde is a village in the region “Saintonge boisée” which regularly hosts international workcamps. Reputed for its ecological museum, the Maison de la Forêt (Forest House) that makes the local natural richness more accessible to the public by organizing hiking tours, exhibitions and events, Montlieu-La-Garde is an ideal place to welcome you! Excited by the commitment and engagement of international volunteers, the municipality wishes to organize another international workcamp, which has become indispensable for international encounters and exchanges. The village envisages work on the beautification of the town hall’s square. Due to the lack of maintenance, a rich cultural heritage has been forgotten, and is just waiting to be brought back into the spotlight!
