Descripción:
The castle of La Brigue, with its original round tower, was the house of Count Ludovic Lascaris, lord of La Brigue and Limone in the 1370s. It became the property of the municipal district of La Brigue in 1989. The first works that urgently needed to preserve the site, particularly the tower, were carried out in 1993. The Patrimoine et Traditions association managing this project is a non-profit association set up in 1995. Today it has 250 active members, all volunteers. Its aim is to safeguard and rehabilitate the cultural and architectural heritage of La Brigue, to develop site layouts and to organise and run cultural and artistic events. The restoration of the castle is the key feature of the association's work.
The works will be supervised by heritage restoration professionals and will focus on the East wall: clearing of weeds and bushes out of the site, finding and collecting stones, removing unstable stones and levelling screed, removing of vegetation, repointing of walls and reinforcement with mortar. (work on secure scaffolding)
built premises, bedrooms of 6 people on the project site, all the facilities available
Location: The project site is located 80 km away from Nice and 50 km away from Vintimille (Italy)
Leisure activities: The entertainment programme focus mainly on a visit to La Brigue’s village and the Roya-Bévéra valleys, awarded "Land of art and history" label by the French Ministry of Culture. Topics such as construction techniques, modern-day know-how and respect for heritage, could be covered.
Participation in festive events (traditional festivals) and sports activities (via ferrata assisted climbing routes or canyoning) will also be on offer to volunteers.
