Immerse yourself in the charming atmosphere of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, officially listed as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France,” famous for its narrow streets and 19th-century stone canals that give the place a picturesque look.
In this maze of alleys, you'll help restore and renovate one particular alley, which has become damaged and unusable. The goal is to make it passable and pleasant again.
You’ll work under the guidance of a professional carpenter, who oversees road maintenance for the town. Each morning on weekdays, you'll remove the asphalt from a section of the street, replacing it with a stone-paved surface (“calade”). This will be a great opportunity to learn construction and masonry techniques. Since the street is long, the restoration will continue into 2026 to complete the full project.
In addition, you'll help clean and clear the historic canals, which are a key feature of the local landscape and require regular upkeep. You'll also help revamp a small square currently being used as a parking lot.
As in all of our projects, some of you will prepare meals for the group each morning, working as a team in the kitchen.
