Arbeit

Forte de son histoire, la forteresse accueille des bénévoles internationaux·ales depuis les années 1980 afin de l'entretenir, de la valoriser et d'animer la vie locale durant l'été. Cette année, ce sont 6 chantiers internationaux qui y sont organisés sur la période estivale. Tu participeras à la deuxième session de l'année.
Viens participer à la sauvegarde et à la valorisation de ce patrimoine d'exception ! Autour du château, tu réaliseras plusieurs travaux de restauration. Accompagné·e par un·e encadrant·e technique, tu participeras à l’entretien des maçonneries en découvrant les techniques traditionnelles : dejointoiement et rejointoiement des murs, fabrication de mortier à base de chaux et de sable, maniement des outils. Tu participeras aussi à l’entretien des boiseries : barrières de sécurité, construction en palettes pour les espaces de détente. Tu participeras également aux actions environnementales de la forteresse : débroussaillage, taille des arbustes, entretien du potager, rénovation des cabines de toilettes sèches. Tu pourras également prendre part à des activités manuelles et culturelles d'embellissement et de valorisation de la forteresse.

With its rich history, international volunteers have been welcomed at the castle since the 1980s to help maintain and promote it, and enliven local life during the summer. This year, 6 international workcamps are organized at the fortress over the summer. You will participate in the second session of the year.
Come and join the preservation and enhancement efforts of this exceptional heritage! Around the castle, you will carry out several restoration tasks. Guided by a technical supervisor, you will help maintain the masonry by learning traditional techniques: removing and re-pointing the walls, making lime and sand mortar, and handling the tools. You will also assist with maintaining the woodwork: safety barriers and building with pallets for relaxation areas. Finally, you will take part in maintining the fortress's environment: clearing brush, pruning shrubs, maintaining the vegetable garden, and renovating the dry toilet cabins. You will also be able to take part in hands-on and cultural activities aimed at enhancing and showcasing the fortress.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

L'hébergement se fait sous tente, à 10/15 min à pieds de la forteresse et à 5 min à pieds du centre de la commune. Tout est organisé sur place dans le respect de l'environnement (tri des déchets et compost) avec l'objectif d'avoir un mode de vie plus écologique.
Au-delà des temps de chantier, les bénévoles participent ensemble à l’organisation de la vie collective. Souvent réparti·e·s en équipes, ils·elles élaborent les menus, participent aux courses, préparent les repas et s’assurent de la propreté des espaces communs. Véritable acteur·ice de ton expérience, tu participeras aussi à la prise de décisions concernant les activités collectives et l’organisation du quotidien !
Dans une optique de réduction de l’impact environnemental de nos chantiers, nous privilégions des menus végétariens, qui répondent à tous les besoins nutritionnels des participant·e·s.
Le groupe sera constitué de bénévoles français·e·s et internationaux·ales. Afin d’assurer l’intégration de tout le monde, nous comptons sur toi pour parler anglais autant que possible !
Cette année, il est possible qu’un autre groupe de volontaires, français·e·s et/ou internationaux·ales, soit accueilli en parallèle du chantier et participe également aux temps de travail. Les espaces pourront donc être partagés : une communication attentive et bienveillante sera essentielle. Cette cohabitation sera aussi une belle occasion de multiplier les rencontres et de renforcer la dimension interculturelle du projet.

Accommodation is in tents, 10-15 minutes on foot from the fortress and 5 minutes on foot from the centre of the village. Everything is organised on-site with respect for the environment (waste sorting and composting) with the goal of promoting a more ecofriendly lifestyle.
Beyond working hours, volunteers come together to organise daily life on the camp. Often divided into teams, they plan menus, help with the shopping, prepare meals, and ensure the cleanliness of shared spaces. Fully involved in shaping your experience, you will also take part in decision-making regarding group activities and daily organisation!
In order to reduce the environmental impact of our projects, we prioritise vegetarian menus, which meet all the nutrional needs of participants.
There will be French volunteers on the workcamp. Some of them might not speak English. This can be an opportunity for everyone to develop new language skills and innovatove ways of communicating!
This year, another group of French and/or international volunteers may be hosted at the same time and take part in the work activities. Living spaces may therefore be shared, and attentive, considerate communication will be essential. This cohabitation will also be a great opportunity to multiply encounters and further strengthen the intercultural dimension of the project.

Lage und Freizeit

Située au coeur du Bourbonnais dans le nord de l'Auvergne, le village de Montaigu-le-blin offre un riche patrimoine historique et culturel. Surplombant le village, la forteresse de Montaigu-le-Blin date du XIIIe siècle et a été construite pour défendre la couronne de France et du Bourbonnais face aux comtés d'Auvergne et du Forez.

Located in the heart of the Bourbonnais region in northern Auvergne, the village of Montaigu-le-Blin offers a rich historical and cultural heritage. Overlooking the village, the Montaigu-le-Blin fortress, dating back to the 13th century, was built to defend the crown of France and Bourbonnais against the counties of Auvergne and Forez.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Au cœur d'un charmant petit village bourbonnais, le château de Montaigu-le-Blin est une imposante forteresse médiévale du XIIème, classée Monument Historique. Située sur une petite colline, cette forteresse offre un espace bucolique et intime, proche de la nature avec une belle vue sur les paysages alentours.
Depuis les années 80, des bénévoles participent chaque année à la sauvegarde, la rénovation et à l'animation touristique du château, alors pourquoi pas toi ?
Ces dernières années, la forteresse s'est refaite une beauté ! Les bénévoles ont continué à faire des travaux de maçonnerie traditionelle sur les murs du château et ont développé le potager médiéval au pied de la tour du Seigneur. A vous de prendre le flambeau !

Inside a lovely little French village, the castle of Montaigu le Blin is an impressive medieval fortress, classified as Historical Monument. It is located on the top of a hill, overlooking the countryside. Since 2002, volunteers have been participating, every summer, to the restoration of the castle. These last years, the fortress has regained its beauty! Since the 80s, volunteers come every year to restore and protect the castle. These last couple of years, volunteers restored the castle walls using traditional masonry techniques and developped the medieval vegetable garden at the bottom of the Lord's tower. This year, it's your turn to live an experience back in time!

Dive into the heart of the village of Laguépie and the historic site of Puech Mignon, around the Church of Our Lady, to take part in a workcamp dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of local heritage. Guided by the Citrus staff team and the volunteers from the association "Le Temps de Puech Mignon", you will carry out several concrete and varied tasks:
• Rebuilding an old dry-stone wall in the presbytery garden
• Laying stone paving in front of the former presbytery kitchen to improve and secure access
• Restoring and safeguarding a small tower attached to the site
• Clearing and cleaning the surrounding areas
These activities will be done in small groups, allowing everyone to learn new skills while contributing to a useful and meaningful project. At the same time, as on all Citrus workcamps, you will take part in community life. In turn, you will be responsible for the "kitchen workcamp," preparing balanced seasonal meals for the whole group in a spirit of sharing. This work camp will be a unique opportunity to meet young people from all over the world, exchange cultures, have strong human experience, and help preserve local heritage.
Join Citrus for an adventure combining history, nature, and togetherness!

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will stay on the Citrus association site in large collective tents (8 to 12 people) equipped with wooden floors and beds. You will have access to dry toilets and solar showers entirely built by young volunteers during previous workcamps. A washing machine is available for reasonable and organized use. There is no Wi-Fi connection. You will take part daily in the maintenance of the site and in meal preparation. Choices will be made collectively to ensure a balanced diet based on your tastes, dietary needs, and local seasonal products. Cooking is an integral part of the workcamp, just like construction activities.

Lage und Freizeit

Laguépie is in the green and hilly area of Quercy-Rouergue, near the Aveyron Gorges, about 100 km northeast of Toulouse, between Albi and Villefranche-de-Rouergue.

Leisure activities: Afternoons will be dedicated to various leisure and discovery activities in the region. You will be able to go hiking, canoeing, visit beautiful medieval villages or historic towns, and enjoy swimming directly in the Viaur River in Laguépie. With the support of the staff team, you will also be active in proposing and organizing activities: debates about your favorite movie, learning a local dance from your region, discussions about current issues, karaoke nights, international quizzes — your ideas are welcome! There will also be the famous international meal, open to everyone, where you will prepare typical dishes from your country or region — a great way to make people travel through food and share intercultural experiences.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

Once upon a time, in the year 972, the Church of Our Lady of Puech Mignon was built! Listed as a French Historical Monument, it has gone through many challenges during its long life: destruction, a reconstruction dating back to the Middle Ages, and another fire in the 19th century. Since then, volunteers from the association "Le Temps de Puech Mignon" have been taking care of its restoration and regular maintenance. However, there is still a lot to be done: while the church itself has now been restored, the surrounding areas urgently need intervention to ensure their preservation. So, take part in this international workcamp with Citrus, where you will also discover its values and ways of working as a popular education association promoting togetherness, sharing, and diversity.
Accompanied by our staff team, you will live in the heart of the village of Laguépie (of which Puech Mignon is a part) and share everyday life with our international volunteers present on site.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

We will pick you up at Laguépie train station after 2 PM. You can easily take a train from Toulouse Matabiau station, which will take you directly to Laguépie in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Arbeit

You will work on consolidating the stone masonry walls of the ruins of the Clausonne Abbey apse. After learning how to make lime mortar, you will work on repointing the stone masonry. A local craftswoman will guide you in making and using the mortar, as well as the placement and size of the stones. Each day, two group members will take turns preparing the team's meals; the menu will be defined in advance. You will work on the site during the mornings from Monday to Friday. Generally, the work involves masonry, preparing tools and meals, as well as organizing and setting up collective life.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

You will be accommodated in a campsite, in individual tents. A kitchen, dry toilets, and showers will be at your disposal. We will welcome you to Ferme du Faï, a former mountain farm located at an altitude of 1,000 meters. The site lives today thanks to a team of employees working on building renovation, international volunteers, artists and musicians in residency, hikers, and curious visitors. Here, we pay attention to our diet to reduce our environmental impact: we eat local as much as possible and reduce our meat consumption to twice a week. Daily life is organized collectively: planning menus (vegetarian, vegan, etc.), grocery shopping, activities, etc. We organize trips for groceries once or twice a week using the vehicles available on site. Roll up your sleeves and join us on the workcamp and in our collective living space!

Lage und Freizeit

The Clausonne site is a 20-minute walk from the Ferme du Faï. Le Faï is located 2 km from the village of Le Saix and 13 km from the town of Veynes. There is no Wi-Fi and the connection is weak, but you will meet people from all over the world!

Leisure activities: The site is located below the summit of Aujour mountain, which might make you want to go hiking during your free time. Indeed, this place in the heart of nature is ideal for enjoying mountain walks. Discover this area with the group of international volunteers you will meet there; it will enrich your experience. Here, you will be the protagonists of your stay: you will play an important role in organizing your time with the support of the leadership team.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

In a small valley in the heart of a sublime alpine landscape lie the remains of an ancient abbey dating from the 12th century. For 30 years, a local association has been committed to preserving and promoting the site, while contributing to the life of Clausonne and the writing of its current history. This project is just one of many initiatives involving international and local volunteers, people in professional reintegration, and other professionals over the years. Last summer, the construction of a wooden hiker's shelter to welcome visitors was completed. This year, preservation work on the abbey building is planned.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

We will take you by shuttle to the Ferme du Faï from the Veynes-Dévoluy train station. Meeting point on June 30th, 2026, from 3 pm onwards.

Come and help create a relaxation area with local associations and young people!
The "Arbre aux Enfants" site is a place for learning about the environment and sustainable development, welcoming children, schools, and associations.
To enhance their outdoor spaces and give their summer an intercultural boost, the activities team is offering young international volunteers the chance to learn carpentry and woodworking techniques to build a wooden terrace and furniture! Other tasks may also be available, such as planting and maintaining green spaces to enhance the site.

To do this, it relies on international volunteers with the goal of combining heritage restoration with the creation of social links between local residents and international participants. To support this initiative, you are invited to take part in restoring the paving of these infrastructures for around 6 hours a day. The program includes learning traditional masonry techniques, teamwork, and participating in community tasks, all of which provide opportunities to forge lasting bonds and contribute to the transformation of the village.

You will be self-sufficient, with access to a kitchen and shared mixed spaces for sleeping (3 to 5 volunteers per room).

A shower is available on-site, but we also encourage you to take advantage of the bathrooms in the homes of the residents: every opportunity is a good way to encourage interaction! It's just a three-minute walk to the work site. For other trips, the villagers will be happy to give you a lift in their cars to go shopping or explore the region.
Accompanied by the camp leaders, you will design the menu and prepare the meals each day in turns. The budget is approximately 5 € per day per person.

Workshops and reflections on the theme of well-being will be offered during the afternoons.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

For 14 years, volunteers from all over the world have been committed to preserving the remains of the Duke of Lesdiguières' castle. Will you be the next to join the adventure? Located in an idyllic setting in the high southern Alpine mountains, this 16th-century castle has been listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments since 1978. In 2000, a local association was created to safeguard the historical, architectural, and cultural memory of the building. The Duke of Lesdiguières, the illustrious patron of the work, was the last Constable of France. This military figure is known for his participation in the Wars of Religion, as well as for his commitment to the construction and development of roads, bridges, and dikes against flooding in France. He had this castle built between 1571 and 1580, but it was abandoned after his death and looted during the French Revolution. The work we organize on this site aims to highlight its history by consolidating the ruins of this precious architectural work, while enriching it through the intercultural encounters typical of international workcamps.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

We will take you by shuttle to the campsite from the Gap train station. Meeting point on July 8th, 2026, from 3 pm onwards.
