L’accueil de volontaires internationaux // International volunteers

Our association works on the restoration of old castles and other French historic buildings. We are open all year round, not only in the summers. In order to participate, experience or a degree aren’t necessary – all that is required is motivation. This is a way for you to discover France: its culture, its language and its architectural heritage. You can participate in the restoration of a historic monument and bring it back to life. This is a leisurely activity in which you learn how to use your hands and acquire basic techniques while having fun and doing something useful at the same time.

You can participate from anywhere between a few days and a few weeks. There are many activities to choose from such as manual work (stone carving, building…) or administrative work should you choose to stay for at least 1 month (setting up a festival or a fair, preparation of an exhibit, research…). You can even participate in the public interest aspects of the site (guiding, communication…).

Every year we welcome youths, students and adults who wish to spend time altogether differently from their everyday life. If you are interested, please, send us a message to our email :
