Work

Your work involves facilitating access to the Sainte-Barbe Chapel by recreating a pedestrian access path and arranging the surrounding spaces. This includes cleaning the areas (mowing, cutting, clearing), envisioning the future route for visitors and drawing it, and finally securing the location by creating a wooden safety barrier. This work does not require specific qualifications and will be supervised by a technical leader. You will work 4 days a week, from 8:30 am to 12 pm and from 2 pm to 5:30 pm.

Accomodation and food

You will be accommodated in rooms for 4 to 6 people with facilities and equipped with mattresses, blankets, and pillows. You will need to bring your sleeping bag. Meals are prepared on a rotating basis by the volunteer team with the help of the leader and in a kitchen with all the necessary equipment. It is possible to request vegetarian meals. You will assist in tidying up the dining area and take turns doing the dishes as a team.

Location and leisure

Tende (06430), 2 hours from Nice. We are located on the heights of the town of Tende, in the mountains.

Leisure activities: In addition to the weekends, one day of the week will be dedicated to discovery and leisure activities. You will have the opportunity to explore the mountain environment (fauna, flora, hiking, etc.), participate in sports activities, and engage in activities on site or in the surrounding towns to meet the local population.

Project hosted by

Neige & Merveilles association welcomes you in the heart of the Mercantour National Park, at an altitude of 1500 meters, to work on the development project of the Vallauria Mine. You will discover an exceptional geological heritage and participate in a human and collective adventure that has been going on for over 60 years. Neige & Merveilles has been working since its creation to revive this historic site in order to offer a haven of peace promoting discovery, encounters, and diversity through the organisation of workcamps. The Sainte-Barbe chapel has already been restored during several youth projects and now needs to be highlighted both for its heritage interest and for the entire history it can testify to. We aim to promote the discovery of this place by rehabilitating the access path leading to it.

Directions to meeting point

The meeting point will be at the TENDE train station on Sunday, June 23, at 5:10 pm. There is a direct train from Nice to Tende that departs in the early afternoon. If you arrive the day before, you must arrange your own accommodation. Departure time on the last day: 10:00 am
