MILL GUARDIANS

CODE: CONCF-46315-TEEN

Project and work:

Come and help restore an old mill, in a project combining heritage, nature and collective experience. Located on the banks of the river in the Bilhard Gorges, a beautiful natural setting, you will help clear the surrounding area, clean and maintain the dry stone walls: sorting stones, rebuilding walls and restoring the site to its former glory. Supported by the municipality of Monistrol-sur-Loire, this project aims to breathe new life into this charming Auvergne town.

Accommodation and meals:

You will be accompanied by two camp leaders throughout your stay. The accommodation will be located a 10-minute walk from the work site. You will sleep in individual tents and inflatable mattresses (provided by Concordia) on grassy ground, and a large tent reserved for the group will be used for communal living and cooking. The bathrooms will be located a little further away, in the municipal center. Wi-Fi is available on site. Laundry can be done by hand or at a laundromat in town (paid service).
You will share the various tasks of community life together. A budget will be allocated to the group and you will participate in shopping and meal preparation, with an emphasis on healthy and local products.

Location and leisure activities:

Monistrol-sur-Loire is the second largest town in the Haute-Loire department: surrounded by nature and crossed by the Loire River, which brings calm and freshness. It offers a green and hilly setting, between river and forests, conducive to both tranquility and outdoor activities. The town preserves a beautiful heritage with its medieval castle and old
town center, while offering cultural facilities and activities that make it a lively place.
You will be welcomed by the local youth center, which will offer you activities and opportunities to meet young people from the village. In the heart of the Pilat Regional Park, there are many nature activities to enjoy. Breathtaking hikes await you!

Partner:

The municipality of Monistrol-sur-Loire is excited about welcoming young people from other places. The residents, and in particular the young people of the village, will be there to enjoy these moments of encounter, sharing the exchanges and collective energy that the volunteers will bring to the place.
