PROTECTING HERITAGE 3 & MUSIC FESTIVAL

CODE: CONCF-33402C-TEEN

Work:

How would you like to work in a real medieval castle? With valuable guidance from your technical supervisor, you will restore a paved courtyard at the foot of the castle keep, known as a “calade.” You will discover the ancestral know-how behind this construction technique while playing archaeologist, as many incredible finds have already been made in this castle!
Your job will be to highlight the existing stones in the courtyard and select new ones to give the castle's courtyard a facelift. In addition, you will be asked to carry out small landscaping jobs in the park, but also to lend a hand at the music festival that will set the castle alight during your stay.

Accommodation and food

You will be accommodated in individual tents provided by Concordia in the grounds of the Chateau des Guilhem, which offers stunning views of the city. You must bring your own camping mattress and sleeping bag. Toilets will be available in the castle outbuildings, and showers will be provided by the sports clubs.
A large tent will be set up as a living space with a dining area. Community life will be at the heart of the experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be given to the activity team, and you will help with shopping and meal preparation, focusing on healthy, local produce.

Location and leisure

Clermont L'Hérault is a charming little town located north of Montpellier in the South of France. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate and a remarkable natural environment (Lac du Salagou, rivers of the Gorges de l'Hérault nearby), it also has a rich cultural heritage with its castle and its cathedral.
In the heart of a preserved setting, you can enjoy outdoor activities and make cultural and festive discoveries.

Partner

Since 2015, we have had a very strong partnership with the town of Clermont l'Hérault. This project to enhance the Guilhem castle contributes to promoting the heritage of the municipality.
