La Sabranenque offers  different volunteer possibilities.

The first, being the summer volunteer program which is offered from June through September.  For over forty years these summer restoration sessions have been offered, welcoming volunteers of all nationalities.
All participants learn the traditional building techniques that were used in building rural architecture.
Each volunteer brings his or her own force to these restoration projects and in turn, will leave with a new way of looking at these buildings, a mastery of new skills learned, and a feeling of satisfaction from the shared moments on the work site.
Volunteers work on the site in the morning, and have the afternoon free to explore, or just simply relax.  On a rotating schedule each volunteer will also participate in every day, communal activities: helping in the kitchen etc...

The other programs offered by La Sabranenque also include the morning work, learning the traditional building techniques, as well as an opportunity to discover the surrounding area.  These sessions are offered in May and October.  They offer a great mix of technical work in the morning with a planned activity in the afternoon. The activity depends on the session chosen: volunteer & visit Provence, volunteer & hike or the newly added wine exploration session.
This year we also propose a new session for the first week of May, a Provencal cooking stage.  There will be no stone work during this week.

The castle

La Sabranenque is located in the small village of Saint Victor La Coste, in the south of France, tucked between Nimes and Avignon.  La Sabranenque has restored the medieval part of the village.  This includes the fortified castle which dominates the old village and the old village itself which is still surrounded by the ancient ramparts.
