CHARMING AND LIVING VINEYARD
PONT-DU-CHATEAU, FRANCIA
Attività principali
With seventeen projects underway, the town of Pont-du-Chateau will make you feel right at home! Take part in this major project to restore the terraced gardens, which are gradually being transformed into an eco-friendly place for walking, relaxing, and discovering the landscape. This 3-hectare site features eco-grazing, terraced gardens, a small orchard, a community vineyard, and a playground and relaxation area.
This year, the town of Pont-du-Chateau is inviting us to continue the work begun last year on the vineyard site, to beautify the space and build a retaining wall between the vineyard plot and the park. The program includes removing the old fence, carpentry and woodworking, and other landscaping activities in the park.
Are you interested in learning construction skills and want to be part of a strong community experience? Do you enjoy working in a team? Would you like to discover a beautiful village in Auvergne? This project is for you!

Scopri PONT-DU-CHATEAU
Pont-du-Chateau is a small, dynamic town overlooking the Allier River. The town is proud of its natural surroundings, which are ideal for walking. The castle, nestled in the heart of the town, offers a remarkable view of the Clermont-Ferrand metropolitan area and the volcanoes of Auvergne. Full of charm, the village, with its narrow streets, half-timbered houses, and remarkable buildings, has some wonderful surprises in store for visitors.
You will be welcomed by local associations offering leisure activities such as kayaking, hiking, swimming, an introduction to pétanque, and team sports. The regional capital, Clermont-Ferrand, is 15 km away and can be reached by train and bus. You can enjoy the city's vibrant atmosphere in summer.

Organizzatore
The town of Pont-du-Chateau is seeking to bring nature into the town through sustainable management and the creation of natural spaces. Among the projects, former terraced gardens have been gradually redeveloped by international volunteers into ecological gardens.
This seventeenth work camp in Pont-du-Chateau is part of this major landscaping project. It will allow you to discover its medieval village, participate in local events, and share meals with the locals, not to mention the party organized at the end of the work camp!
