Dates: 19.10.2024 – 02.11.2024

PROJECT
If Edith Piaf sang the famous “vie en rose”, in Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val it would change the colour to become greener, thanks to your commitment! Under the watchful eye of a technical supervisor, you’ll be working in a small, hidden square in the heart of the village to renovate an arch that needs to be restored to its former glory. In addition to this, you’ll be doing occasional brush-clearing work.
A real architect’s job awaits you to redevelop this space! And we can’t forget the young, energetic local teenagers, who will be on hand on certain mornings to help you with this exciting project. Tempted by the experience? Come and enjoy two weeks of work in this charming village.
