Château de Barjon

Le lieu est un petit paradis de quiétude et de nature.
Au milieu d’une immense forêt et à plus de 12 km de tout commerce nous sommes assez isolés.
Je ne réside pas en permanence dans ce château mais à chaque séjour, c’est un pur moment de bonheur.
Comme les bâtiments sont en assez bon état, je souhaite entreprendre des aménagements sur le terrain.
La plantation d’un verger est ma première préoccupation pour pouvoir jouir des fruits dans les années à venir et pouvoir prendre le temps de transformer les produits de la nature.
Remettre en état les anciens chemins et les murets ancestraux sera la seconde étapes.
Pour cela j'ai besoin d'aide et de personnes motivées par le patrimoine et assez fous ou passionnées pour apporter leur pierre à l’édifice

Hello, I'm the proud owner of a beautiful castle rebuilt in the XIV and XVIII century, in the heart of the forest of Burgundy. If Living in the building as it is, is marvellous, Lands and park require work. We expect in first clearing the Limits of land, cutting trees, planting fruit trees. We are planning the clearing of trees and the preparation of firewood. Many dry stone walls will have to be reassembled, others renovated with traditional methods. Reworked paths. The ivy of the walls will have to be contained. We can accommodate you in the building and give you bicycles to visit some beautiful village surrounding. Having Volunteering Practiced on sites during many years we are able to speak many languages. Friends Worldwide are Welcome. I am an archaeologist and I am occasionally in the castle. If you would like to bring your stone to the monument and if you are dreaming of a castle's life, we welcome you with Great Pleasure! But you need to be motivated by the work on cultural heritage. Sincerity, love of life and authenticity The next operation outdoor of wood cutting and dry stone walls building is scheduled from 7th till 17 th September 2024. J'ai pratiqué le travail volontaire sur les chantiers de fouille pendant de très nombreuses années et je m’en trouve beaucoup plus riche par cette experience . Par mon métier d'archéologue j’ai la chance de voyager régulièrement me permettant de nombreuses rencontres. Je souhaiterais que ma maison soit un lieu de passage, d’échange et de rencontre.

Olivier and Joel - Olivier's partner, plus all the team were really incredible and we all vibe.
To make this experience perfect we could have had some time to get to know the land and history of the castle all together in a tour. The work is very hard and intense for most part, and I wish the hours and days off were as agreed beforehand, except 2 days and the one day off we asked to have, we worked more than the agreed hours.

The food and the wine were always well served. Dinner time was really nice, was a time we had to bound and relax.

De fato a primeira experiência como voluntariado e adorei toda equipe, toda experiência e dedicação de todos! O trabalho é um pouco braçal mas consegues fazer no seu tempo apropriado, o Olivier e todos os envolvidos são prestativos! Agora tenho uma grande família na França e em um cantinho de cada lugar do mundo que vou levar pra toda vida, já estou ansioso para vê-los novamente! :)

Que experiência incrível! Me senti em casa, todos foram tão calorosos e tudo foi muito agradável. O trabalho é pesado e manual, mas Olivier é super compreensivo e te deixa a vontade para realizar as tarefas no seu tempo, a comunicação foi muito boa e tudo é bem flexível.
Só tenho a agradecer por esse tempo em que convivi com essa família maravilhosa.
