Vir'Volt stands for InteRnational VolunTeer Village (in French). For 10 years, the organization has been located right in the middle of nature, near a regional park.
Hosting young people from all around the world, fostering understanding and appreciation of differences. Planning and acting together to protect the environment. Creating a positive impact on the surrounding area and on the people who live there or simply pass through. These are the goals of this future village, rebuilt each year thanks to the commitment of young people who come to contribute, driven by solidarity.
Vir'Volt also aims to become fully ecofriendly and sustainable, which is reflected in our campsite; yurts and teepees as rooms, permaculture farming and gardening, water saving projects, reducing, and reusing waste. This small village will become great without sacrificing or damaging the surrounding environment whilst always searching for better and more ecofriendly ways of living.
