Description

The Duke of Lesdiguières, the last Constable of France, is a military figure known for his participation in the Wars of Religion and for his involvement in the construction and development of roads, bridges, and dikes against flooding in the region. This castle was built between 1571 and 1580 and was abandoned after his death. It was looted during the French Revolution. In 2000, the Château de Lesdiguières association was created with the aim of safeguarding the historical, architectural, and cultural memory of the building. Since 2010, the various works that we have been organising on this site are aimed at securing and reinforcing the existing walls, but also at enhancing its value. Since 2018, we have been working on the reinforcement of the stonework of an escarpment wall. With the help of the technical supervisor, we will work with old techniques and materials. (such as lime). At certain times, we will work at height, using scaffolding. We will work around 30 hours per week.

Сместување, храна и транспорт

You will be accommodated in individual tents on the site of the Holy Family colony not far from the work site, located at the entrance to the Valgaudemar valley. We will set up a large kitchen tent in order to prepare our meals. You will cook in turn, so that you can taste several specialties! Here, we pay attention to what we eat, to reduce our environmental impact and we try to eat a maximum of local products.. The daily life is organized together. Bring a mattress, a good sleeping bag (the nights can be cold) and a pillow. To be adapted to your needs.
