The aim is to design, build and install ecological systems that harness renewable energy sources to improve everyday life in a sustainable way. Activities include preparing the site for the solar system, building the base and installing the panels, creating a wind turbine with generator to charge appliances, and making a functional bicycle washer using human energy. This project is an opportunity to experiment with ecological alternatives.
Accomodation and food
You will be accommodated in various shared sleeping rooms for 4 to 8 people at Château du Créneau. Wi-Fi is not available on site. Food will be provided and prepared in the château kitchen by you and other participants in groups, with the support of the kitchen supervisors.
Location and leisure
Afternoon and weekend activities are organized collectively by the whole group. Are you more of a city person? The towns of Vichy and Moulins are just forty kilometers away! Looking more for a country stroll? Feel free to explore the surrounding area on foot or by bicycle, discovering the landscape, heritage and local craftsmen, taking a swim, or enjoying sports and leisure activities and outings.
