Volunteer to help build a medieval Gothic edifice in France!

My son and I spent two weeks at the host. It rained cats and dogs sometimes, we get used to some mud and discovered sore muscles that we didn't know we had… but we wished we could have stayed longer. The growing gothic edifice, being as impressive as it is, is dwarfed by the unlikely, inspiring and welcoming group of people formed by Don, Sam and the British residents and regular volunteers, Jim and Mark, plus the extra visit of ever smiling Sam's sister. We loved the work and learned a lot, but if you finally go you will soon learn that the best is the flesh and blood behind the stone.

Sam and Donald are very welcoming and make sure their volunteers are cosy and enjoying themselves. Their project would seem wildly unrealistic if not impossible - except it's really happening. I loved being out in nature, working with my hands, discussing history for hours, learning skills such as stone masonry and stone carving. I loved to contribute, however humbly, to a building designed to last centuries. Now I know there's a place for me to come back to when I need to get away from the city, a place where to deeply rest while creating something beautiful.

Malheureusement nous sommes resté seulement 3 jours car nous pensions que l'emplacement était dans un village de 2000 habitants mais finalement c'est une place très reculé d'environ 3-4 maisons. Ce n'est pas ce que nous recherchions. Sam et Mark étaient très gentils et compréhensibles. Martin un autre volontaire qui était là aussi était sympathique. Expérience sympa pour ceux qui veulent quelque chose d'unique et très rurale, beau projet!

Changemoi is way out in the countryside in Morvan. It is so quiet, all you hear at times is the squeeling of the neighbours donkey. But at the host the energy is high, due to the commitment of the three main persons Sam, Mark and Jim to their extrordinary project. And this energy is so inspiring to the voluteer, that you learn to live with the anger all the times the mortar falls out of the little holes in the cieling you try to squeese it into. Thank you Mark for a lovely goodbuy party at your home.
