Workcamps ANTIBES RESTORATION OF RETAINING WALLS IN DRY MASONRY ON THE LA GAROUPE HILLSIDE

Description of site :
The Garoupe Forest (le Bois de la Garoupe) is situated in Antibes, on the seaside. Owned by the Seacoast and Lakeshores Conservation Agency (CELRL) since 1980, this ancient domain used to be an agricultural land where the olive trees, vines and wheat were grown on terrasses retained by walls in dry masonry (built in the 1760s).
