İş Tanımı
Get involved in the conservation of medieval heritage in the small town of Allegre, a small historical village in the middle of Auvergne region. This year, we will celebrate the 15th anniversary of Allegre’s workcamps.
You will participate in the development of the Medieval Garden, which started a few years ago and is pursued by volunteers every summer. The purpose of this year's workcamp is to build an elevated walkway to connect the track to the new entrance, and to install wooden barriers as a guardrail to prevent people walking on the pathway to fall out.
The garden is ideally situated at the foot of the village ramparts, high up, with a beautiful viewpoint! It is made up of several areas: a vegetable garden, an orchard and a small patch for medicinal and magical herbs called "carré des simples".
