About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In a small medieval village, in the heart of the Regional Natural Park of the Chevreuse Valley, you will contribute to the development of the castle "Guy Le Rouge", in Rochefort-en-Yvelines, classified as a historic monument since 1931. Located at the crossroads of merchandises, this place was at the beginning a real fortress ! Since two years now, volunteers from all around the world are coming here. First, ruins were under vegetation but today paths have been drawn and sight overlooks the village and the XII's century church. Thank's to them !

💼 What the programme involves

Your mission, (if you accept it !), will be to participate to the restauration of paths around fortifications (clearing and grinding), to clear and rebuilt stairs going to the second interior courtyard and to continue the work of enhancement and arrangement of landscapes and sights. A technical team specialised in natural areas will supervise the work. No technicals skills needed. At the end, this magical place, full of History, will be accessible to walkers to visit and admire the see under the church, the village and the forest !

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be accommodated at the Rochefort's outdoor activities center, composed by a big village hall, kitchen, garden and tents (1 per personn). You simply have to bring your staff to sleep (sleeping bag and matress) ! All aspects of the collective life (shopping, meal preparation, cleaning) will be managed by you, based on an operation that you will have decided upon together beforehand (e.g., use of schedules, constitution of pairs...). You will cook in turns for all the participants. It will be an opportunity to show your culinary skills. Don't forget your recipies ! You will be assisted in this task by a group facilitator : Candice. She will make you discover her village and treasures around. She will be with a technical animator. The aim of the workcamp is to live a rich collective adventure and to discover a beautiful place of France !

📍 About the location

By coming to this place, you will be able to discover a small rural and medieval village, situated at only 30 minutes by car from Paris. Around, you will discover several natural and touristic places as the medieval castle of Dourdan, the Elsa Triolet and Aragon's house, Rambouillet's forest or Vaux de Cernay's abbey ! A day to discover Paris will be planed too. Many activities and outings will be planed on the afternoons, but you could also make proposals if you want ! This workcamp will be full of meetings and great discovers !
