About the project

AIGUILLE FORT 2-1

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Near the Charente River, the Fouras peninsula has 3 ports and 5 beaches on the Atlantic coast. The town of Fouras-les-Bains and Maison des Bateleurs - Solidarités Jeunesses wished to renew their partnership in order to continue the rehabilitation work on Aiguille Fort (known as the largest in France). In an idyllic setting with a view of Boyard Fort, work will consist of rehabilitating the redoubt (a fortification system built by Vauban) to protect Fouras from a possible invasion.

💼 What the programme involves

It will consist of delimiting the spaces that are part of the redoubt, thus securing and protecting the site for future cultural events. You'll build and install a barrier and a fence around the fort, on the eastern front. You'll also remove the old gate, which is in poor condition and unsightly, in order to replace it.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Collective, tent at the Fouras campsite (pool, multi-sports area, WIFI, snack...). Food provided, meals prepared by you.

📍 About the location

You'll be able to experience some water activities, like fishing or sailing. During your free time, you'll have the opportunity to interact with locals, already excited about meeting you. Finally, you'll have time to discover the beach, go on bike rides along the ocean, play beach-volleyball, and participate in many other activities. You'll also be able to visit forts and museums as well as cities like La Rochelle and Rochefort.
