Presentation
Born of the Domaine National de Chambord’s desire to affirm its social role in the region, our workcamp for professional integration and training leading to qualifications began on January 27, 2020. Following severe weather conditions in 2016, the 32 km long surrounding wall of the Domaine suffered damage requiring a major restoration campaign. We are working on the part of the wall located in the Muides sector.
