📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The city of Saint-Yorre, known for its natural springs, has recently bought the park of Larbaud where one of these natural springs flows. This old thermal bath park is a magnificent place. Therefore, the town wishes to renovate the park and make it a convivial place for the local residents. For 4 years now, the town and local authorities have invited young volunteers to accompany and help them complete this project.
💼 What the programme involves
This year, the workcamp will work on re-opening an old path leading to the park that used to link to the thermal baths in the Larbaud Villa, located in the higher elevations of the park. The work will consist of removing the vegetation that is obstructing the old pathway, and of facilitating the circulation of pedestrain walkways. You may also participate in small demolition works at the Larbaud Villa that will restore the once spacious interiors. Finally, you will organize a festival that is set up each year to encourage the local residents to visit and to meet the volunteers working on the restoration of this place.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In a municipal building located in a park. The food will be provided, and the meals will be prepared by rotating groups of volunteers.
