Take part in the rehabilitation of an old mill or its miller’s house, in the charming town of Isle, in the heart of the forest!
You will continue to restore the mill area, clearing the weeds, consolidating and solidifying the walls and rebuilding the destroyed parts. The part you will work on corresponds to the junction zone between the mill stream and the waterwheel mechanism. You will be supervised by a technical leader who will teach you different traditional procedures.
You will be accommodated in individual tents where you will find a very nice viewpoint of the surrounding countryside. Sanitary facilities, kitchen and communal living room will be accessible. You will share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the group leaders; you will participate in the grocery shopping and the preparation of the meals, prioritising healthy and local products. WIFI is available, handwashing of laundry.
Isle is a French town located in the department of Haute-Vienne in the New Aquitaine region, bordering the town of Limoges (famous for its porcelain, but rich in history and heritage).
The commune benefits from an exceptional living environment where nature is omnipresent. In the town centre, flowery gardens, green spaces and leisure facilities are to be discovered alongside local shops and services. Just a few minutes' walk away, Isle has a rural protected area shaped by the two valleys of the Vienne and Aurence rivers. Along woods, meadows and fields, there are the several castles and manor houses that together make up the town, with an urban dynamism offered by the town of Limoges, 5 minutes away.
The municipality of Isle plans to restore an old mill and its miller house in the forest located in the town. To do so, several volunteering actions will be implemented: the construction of a room for hunters, an educational room for the leisure centre, a hiking trail and the reactivation of the mill. Through this project, you will participate in this restoration and you will discover and share a human and cultural experience with the inhabitants of the town. You will also be near the French capital of porcelain, Limoges.
