This document provides details of a study visit organized by the European LIBNAM project. The visit will take place from May 20-22, 2014 in Brittany, France and will include visits to various natural building sites, demonstrations, and presentations. Approximately 15-20 participants from building industry professionals are expected to attend. The itinerary details the locations to be visited each day, including a cellulose factory, straw bale buildings, and earth building workshops. Participants will stay in dormitories and have their travel expenses covered, but will pay for their own meals.
