Between June and September, the French Riviera Community offers 4 days of training dedicated to the restoration of dry stone walls.
Emblematic of our landscapes, dry stone walls are a built heritage bequeathed by our ancestors. Behind these modest structures lies an ancestral construction technique without binders or mortar that combines both landscape and environmental knowledge.
The construction and restoration of dry stone walls is a know-how that the French Riviera Community intends to pass on, as they are real anthropic habitats for multiple endemic and heritage species. With a little patience, you may be able to see the strinatii spelunker, the wall lizard or the Nice stonewort, which are species listed and protected by the European Habitat Directive that governs Natura 2000 sites.
Organised in the open air and in the form of a workshop, this year the training sessions will take place in the communes of Sainte-Agnès, Breil-sur-Roya, Castillon and Castellar under the guidance of a professional mason. They are free and open to all!
Participants should bring safety shoes or hiking boots, a cap, a picnic, water and gloves (in groups of 15 people, for safety reasons, children are not allowed to participate in the courses). - For safety reasons, children are not allowed to attend the training courses)
