Project: The worksite will be held in a small medieval village called Sauve, at the foot of the Cévennes. This is the first year that the town hall has organized this project with the desire to highlight the heritage of the village and specifically its noria (hydraulic machine for irrigating crops). Leaning against the side of the Coutach massif at the foot of which flows the Vidourle river, Sauve is a remarkable medieval village. Walking through the alleys of the village, one discovers the remains of the ramparts, the fortified gates, the 2 medieval towers, the vaults and alleys and of course the noria. Your action will be in accordance with the objective 11 of sustainable development (UN) in favor of sustainable cities and communities.
Work: You will be involved in the restoration of this structure. It will first be necessary to empty the tank and then weed the surroundings in order to make it visible from the entrance to the village. There will also be minor masonry work to repair the structure where it has been damaged over time. 25h/week
Accommodation and food: You will be accommodated at the campsite, near the site of the worksite, next to the football field. You will have access to the stadium’s sanitary facilities. Meals will be provided and prepared in turn by participants.
Location: In the village of Sauve, at the foot of the Cévennes, two hours from the Mediterranean Sea.
Leisure activities: As the site will be held in a very touristy medieval village, you will discover the history of the village and its heritage by going to meet the inhabitants. Culinary heritage discovery activities will also be organized. Transport will also be made available to organize leisure activities (kayaks, hikes, etc.)
