Description
The next operation outdoor of wood cutting and dry stone walls building is scheduled from 7th till 17 th September 2024.

Hello,
I'm the proud owner of a beautiful castle rebuilt in the XIV and XVIII century, in the heart of the forest of Burgundy.
If Living in the building as it is, is marvellous, Lands and park require work.
We expect in first clearing the Limits of land, cutting trees, planting fruit trees.
We are planning the clearing of trees and the preparation of firewood.
Many dry stone walls will have to be reassembled, others renovated with traditional methods. Reworked paths.
The ivy of the walls will have to be contained.
We can accommodate you in the building and give you bicycles to visit some beautiful village surrounding.
Having Volunteering Practiced on sites during many years we are able to speak many languages. Friends Worldwide are Welcome.
We do not bring any added value to the building but we would educate people about restoration by teaching them traditional methods of maintenance and restoration.
I am myself an archaeologist and conservator-restorer and my approach is altruistic to maintain heritage, making it more beautify it and transmit it.
I am occasionally in the castle and we organize only two sessions of 10 to 15 days per year with around 15 people (friends, familly and volonteers).
