Organizzatore
Luz Saint Sauveur is a village nestled in the heart of the Pyrenees. For over ten years, Luz has been organizing international work camps in June to spruce up the village before the tourist season!
The village is fully committed to this project and is eager to involve the town hall’s technical staff in the work camp. Be prepared to interact with the local community, who look forward to spending plenty of time with you!
