Project: This project takes place on Citrus' activity site, in the village of Laguépie.

Work: Masonry and gardening will be the main activities. Half of the work will be dedicated to continue the building of the kitchen next to Citrus association's office. The other half will be spent on various tasks in the garden, where we grow both vegetables and flowers and provide the village inhabitants with a nice place to meet and run gardening workshops. The works will be guided by a mason and a gardener, both members of Citrus' permanent staff. Leisure activities: Beside the working time you will have the opportunity to swim in the river, to hike on surrounding trails, to meet local young people, organize pizza parties around a traditional bread oven, playing games, and to discover some beautiful medieval villages such as Najac, Cordes sur Ciel, Saint-Antonin Noble Val.
