Grain de Sable

Purpose of the association

To examine the ethnological, sociological, historical and technical aspects relating to traditional self-built dwellings on the Roussillon coast and the ways of life associated with them; to organise the collection, study, archiving, dissemination and publication of documents relating to these experiences, drawing in particular on the example of the working-class village of Bourdigou; to promote the study, experimentation and transmission of the relevant building techniques; to implement projects likely to revitalise the social, economic and environmental characteristics associated with these experiences
