Do you want to learn ancient masonry techniques and to register your action in accordance with the objective 12 of sustainable development (UN) in favor of sustainable consumption and production? How to use ancient and ecological materials? For this 1st session, you will participate in cleaning the vegetation that covers the stones forming the caladées (paved) streets. You will have to be very careful not to damage the stones, and you will have to be curious enough to observe the ancient structuring of the ground to be able to read the needs for future restoration (water drainage, junction with adjoining walls). At the same time, you will have a low wall to restructure before it collapses and thus familiarize yourself with dry stone construction techniques (without mortar).

You will be accommodated in individual tents in the garden of a village lodge to which you will have access for sanitary facilities and cooking. All your meals will be taken at the camp. You will participate in turn in the different missions of daily life according to a schedule that you will define with the animation team and that will accompany you to carry them out. Community life will be organized together: organization of menus ((vegetarian, vegan and other specific diets possible), grocery shopping, activities, etc. Bring a mattress, a good sleeping bag (the nights can be cool) and a pillow (to be adapted to your needs).

The village of Epine is 8km from the small town of Serres in the south of the Hautes-Alpes department.You will take advantage of the natural environment of Serrois and in particular of the numerous places of bathing very easily accessible, like the gorges of Méouge or Riou. You will have the leisure to hike in the surrounding massifs and will be able to initiate you to many mountain sports (viaferrata, climbing, etc.). As a group, you will decide on the activities and discovery outings you wish to set up (subject to distance).
