This year we will organize the fourteenth workcamp in Allegre, in the heart of this beautiful historic village!
For twelve years, international volunteers have taken turns every summer to renovate pavements of alleyways in the village. This year, the town council offers to continue the development of an ecological medieval garden, which was created last summer during a workcamp. This field is ideally situated at the foot of outer walls, high up, with a beautiful point of view. What is a medieval garden? It is an enclosed, secret, quiet garden, ideal for meditation. It is made up of several areas: a vegetable garden, an orchard and the corner of medicinal and magical herbs called "carre des simples".
You'll spend about 30 hours a week on this site. Your tasks: manual earthwork to make the garden flat, construction of a cover which will later be planted, repairing as well and making large square wooden planters. You will then fill them using a permaculture technique of lasagna cultivation. The tasks will be varied and you will learn to handle many tools alongside a technical animator. It will be a very enriching experience!
You will be accompanied by two camp leaders throughout your stay.
Your accommodation will be located at the city stadium, near the campsite, which is 20 minutes’ walk from the village. You will sleep in individual tent set up in the grass, near the facilities. You will have a kitchen in a room in the stadium and a large collective tent for socializing.
The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together. The budget will be allocated to the group leader and you will participate in the preparation of meals, prioritizing products from the market and local producers. Wi-Fi is available in the campsite and in the village, and the laundry will be made by hand washing.
Allegre is a small town of 1000 inhabitants located in the Haute-Loire County in the Auvergne region, 30 km of Le-Puy-en-Velay city, in the Natural Regional Park of Livradois-Forez. Its alleyways are picturesque with red roofed houses, built on the slopes of an extinct volcano, the "Mont Bar". From the preserved ruins of the Castle at the top end of the village you can overlook hundreds of kilometres of countryside!
You will have the chance to go swimming in lakes, attend local celebrations and take part in outdoor leisure activities.

Allegre has a very rich historical heritage. It is located at an altitude of 1,000 meters, where the remains of a classified castle overlook the village. The town was selected as part of the "Small town of tomorrow" scheme, which enables it to carry out actions to improve the living environment and ecology. It is in this context that the project to create a medieval garden was born.
Local celebrations, meals with the inhabitants and the discovery of the region will be on your schedule.
Please note that it is preferable to know how to swim.
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
Bring work clothes, walking boots and a backpack. Nights can be chilly, so bring warm clothes and a good sleeping bag. You can also bring recipes from your home country, musical instruments and games. You will get around Allegre by foot, car and from time to time with a minibus.
