You want to contribute to the revitalization of a rural community and connect with locals? Join a team of volunteers to set up a guinguette and bring a lively meeting place to life in the heart of Gers, one of the most welcoming regions in France!

In Preignan, a dynamic village surrounded by nature, you will help breathe new life into L’Hydroberge, a community café cherished by locals. The goal of this project is to transform this alternative space into a hub for connection and exchange while upholding values of inclusion, equality, and eco-responsibility.

On-site, you will take part in preparing the venue for the summer season by building a pizza oven and outdoor wooden furniture. No prior experience is required—if you’ve never done masonry or carpentry before, don’t worry, everything can be learned on-site! What truly matters is your motivation and willingness to bring creativity to this project full of potential.
Your stay will also be filled with exciting activities and local tourism, ensuring an immersive experience in the life of the village.

You will sleep in individual tents (provided by Concordia) with access to sanitary facilities, showers, and a kitchen.
Everyone will take turns preparing meals and managing the living space (organizing schedules, cleaning, shopping, etc.). Tasks will be shared collectively, and meals will be prepared together (mainly vegetarian). A budget will be allocated to the team leaders, and you will participate in grocery shopping, prioritizing healthy and locally sourced products. Laundry will be done by hand.
Wi-Fi is not available

L’Hydroberge is located in Preignan, a charming village in Gers, at the heart of the Occitanie region in southern France. This picturesque village, with everything you need nearby, is just a stone’s throw from Auch, the city of d’Artagnan, known for its rich history.

Preignan hosts fascinating remnants such as an ancient villa visible on the ridges. The village’s Romanesque church, at its center, was built on a former Merovingian cemetery, offering a true journey through time. The Rambert Mill, home to L’Hydroberge, is itself a historic monument and a symbol of local life.

If you love history and authenticity, Gers is the ideal place to explore France in a unique way. You can discover the Santiago de Compostela trails, visit archaeological sites like the Gallo-Roman villa of Seviac, and more! The region is also home to the Occitan language, adding even more charm to its rich character.

During the project, you will be ambassadors of L’Hydroberge, a former mill that has become a true community hub. This café is now a cornerstone for locals, combining culture, conviviality, and creativity.

L’Hydroberge hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including jam sessions, thematic fairs (eco-construction, wellness, cosplay), book signings, conferences, and concerts. During your stay, you will have the chance to take part in one of these jam sessions. Music instruments will be available, but you can bring your own to join the lively musical atmosphere of the venue. This is the perfect opportunity to meet residents, exchange ideas, and experience a rich and dynamic immersion in local life.

If health issues arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for them, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.

- Volunteers will receive pocket money, calculated on the basis of 6€/day, once they arrive at the project in France;
