The project: Langres citadel, built in 1842, is the last work of a city whose fortifications date from the 3rd century. Its strategic position, dominating vast plains made it a really important fortified town. The Service Patrimoine (Heritage Service) of the city leads an action of restoration and promotion of a site called "Lunette 10" which is a little fort forwards the citadel. Works that must be made are many. Some of them have already been done and children have been introduced to stone cutting on the site.
Works: You will participate in rebuilding the ancient drawbridge and the surrounding wall. You will learn: stone cutting, masonry works, making mortars, techniques to build a wall. You might have to carry heavy things. Leaders will inform you about the security rules.
