Commit yourself to the heritage of Châteaudouble, a small and typical mediaeval village. For nature and history lovers!

The village inaugurated last year an open-air green theatre on an esplanade overlooking the village and its listed monuments with a magnificent unobstructed view. The place will host artists, concerts and many other events for the inhabitants and tourists, participating in the dynamism of the village.

The site being vast, several restoration works are planned to vary the pleasures! Your work will consist in restoring the dry-stone walls by sorting stones (salvage and purchased ones), cleaning the area (ground clearance) and constructing the area’s entrance.

You will be accommodated on site in individual tents with access to a building for communal living, toilets and meals. Handwashing of the laundry.

Remember to bring your floor mat or air mattress and your duvet (very important!!). As we do not have a bathroom on site, we will install solar showers.

The group will share the cleaning chores and prepare meals together. The budget will be allocated to the staff and you will participate in the grocery shopping and in the preparation of meals, prioritising products from the market and local producers.

Like a real eagle's nest, overlooking the Nartuby gorges in the upper Var, Châteaudouble has retained its authentic mediaeval appearance. Châteaudouble takes its name from the presence of two castles in the Middle Ages, each of them located on a bank of the Nartuby. Only the remains of the Tower, a square keep, dating from the 12th century, which overlooks the village, still exist today.

Perched on its narrow plateau, Châteaudouble is a village that invites you to discover its alleys, wander between the houses and climb up to the ruins of the castle, on the plateau of Sainte Anne.

The village offers a wide range of leisure activities, including visits and walks, swimming in the rivers and gorges, kayaking in the gorges or at sea, hiking, local sports such as pétanque, and taking part in the various village festivities. In Châteaudouble, a village of 200 inhabitants, there are two bars and one concert a week in the summer.

As the village is isolated with few public transport links, the vast majority of activities take place on site. Outings to the gorges and/or the sea can be organised.

Châteaudouble is a mediaeval village with a very rich heritage and sumptuous monuments, some of them being even listed. Very dynamic and invested in the development of its historical and natural heritage, several projects are currently undertaken by the village. This is a renewed partnership with the commune of Châteaudouble for the second year. Our current project is part of a development plan for the plateau of Sainte Anne, on the heights of the village, which became last year an open-air theatre with stone terraces and dressing rooms for artists in the middle of old cobblestone ways, dry-stone walls as well as an old chapel. Our work camp and your commitment will enable us to restore and enhance this magnificent site for the benefit of the population and tourists.

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 then be reimbursed once back in their home country.

This project is supported by the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) program for young people between 18 and 30. It is open to all volunteers that fit the ESC criteria.
The participation to ESC volunteering teams is subjected to several principles and conditions, presented on the ESC webpage: https://europa.eu/youth/solidarity/mission_en
- volunteers do not have to pay any fee (neither sending, nor participation fee) to attend the project and will receive financial support for their travel, according to a maximum amount established depending on their travel distance and upon the presentation of original tickets;
- volunteers need to enrol in the PASS, the ESC Portal; then Concordia France will organise their matching, on the online system, with the volunteering project;
- volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on the basis of 6€/day, once they arrive at the project in France;
- volunteers will have to complete a participation report, submitted online through the portal.

Remember to bring clothes and shoes for work and hiking. Nights can be cool, so bring a good warm duvet. To avoid mosquito bites, remember to bring mosquito repellent and loose, covering clothes for the evenings.

As we are in an area where it can be very hot during the day, bring a hat or cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, a small backpack and water bottles. As the village is far from the meeting place and has no public transportation, it is imperative to be on time at the meeting point! For the public meals and the open house, you can bring a few specialties from home that are easy to carry with you.

On the last day (19/07), the departure time is usually set in the morning.

Het inschrijfgeld voor dit project bedraagt € 345, exclusief € 50 korting voor studenten en jongeren onder de 18.
