Just sent in my application for Club du Vieux Manoir. Their headquarters at Pontpoint is only about an hour outside of Paris, so the letter should get there pretty quickly. I'll find out if I've been accepted sometime in the next week, probably Wednesday or Thursday.
The sites I signed up for in order of preference were a fortress and an abbey in Briançon, or a fortress in Guise in the north. The work is pretty much all masonry, but there are a few more specialized areas like woodworking. Boy, if they need any cabinet doors sorted...

Got Eurail to Nimes?
An afterthought, that though not exactly Gallic, is primal Celtic. And it's also paternal:
