Project hosted by

The town of Bergerac invites you to discover the Dordogne through its international workcamp. Reflecting the multicultural aspect of a project for young volunteers, the diversity of the actors and actions involved in this project will surprise all participants. Pombonne Park, a high-quality environmental education center, is a place dearly appreciated by Bergeracois (the name of the inhabitants of Bergerac) and will be a privileged meeting place between residents and volunteers. The magnificent lake in the park will offer you afternoons by the water or on the beach.

The Théâtre de la Gargouille will host you on its land. La Gargouille is looking forward to welcoming you to its site and helping you discover it. This international project is part of an approach to make this association a space for life and exchange between local inhabitants and people from around the world passing through the region.
