    Hello travellers !
    We're organizing a street-art exhibition in april 23 and need some help to prepare the place for the event...

    We're looking for 1 organised, strong, practical, handy, independent volunteer (preferably a man with driving licence) during 2-3 weeks or more, to help us with the maintenance of the house & park : cutting trees- mowing - masonry, sanding & painting...

    We are in a village close to Auxerre in Burgundy, in a heritage park on 1.5 hectares of land and there is always something to repair : several projects are underway ! The adjoining shed is now a small art center to highlight the industrial heritage of ochre & organise with our association, exhibitions, workshops, exhibitions, conferences, concerts...
    Thank you to everyone who came from all over the world to help us...


    Bonjour !
    nous organisons une expo de street-art en avril 23 et recherchons de l'aide pour préparer cet événement !

    Nous recherchons un volontaire bricoleur, indépendant, sympa... (charpentier, maçon, bûcheron, élagueur...) pour une durée de 2/3 semaines (ou plus selon affinités) pour nous aider dans la maison et le parc : couper du bois, des arbres morts, tonte, ponçage, peinture...
