Help restore an old mill in the village of Freissinieres!
Nestled in the heart of the mountains, the village of Freissinieres is home to an old mill dating back to the XVIII century. You will be contributing to the second restoration project for this mill, located along the Biaysse torrent and on the route taken by many hikers.
Daily routine : Get ready for a 30-minute morning hike from your camp through the forest. You will cross a wooden bridge over the Biaysse torrent and make one last effort to climb the hill before arriving at the site: the Viollins mill.
As work on the site began last year, you will have the opportunity to complete the building by restoring the four surrounding walls. Regular work on scaffolding, using traditional construction techniques. You will, of course, be assisted by professionals.
But the project doesn't stop there! You will also be responsible for retracing the history of the Viollins mill through an artistic project that you will carry out in collaboration with the village residents.

Dove alloggerai
You will stay in a dedicated area in the heart of the forest where individual tents will be pitched (and provided). Meals will be prepared outdoors. The group will have to build a clay oven for bread, and cooking will be done over a campfire. To keep food cool, a bucket in the river will serve as a refrigerator. You will share various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the facilitators, and you will participate in shopping and meal preparation, with priority on healthy, local products. A recipe booklet will be provided to encourage responsible purchasing and sustainable eating.
