The objectives of the association are based on its statutes: “- to restore the buildings of the Gravière site by rediscovering and making known the ancient construction techniques; - to make the site live by focusing on studying and promoting the traditional know-how, the natural and cultural heritage of the Haut-Haut-Berry ”. A rehabilitation of the buildings of La Gravière must allow: the preservation of a building witness of the traditional rural architecture of Haut-Berry and especially of the Pays-Fort; the creation of a place of associative life: meetings, meals, workshops for the works, etc. the creation of a place of cultural animation: exhibitions, conferences, concert etc. The rehabilitation of the buildings must be a highlight for the association but also for the inhabitants of the region.
