AN UNUSUAL DESTINATION

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Thanks to this workcamp, you will be immersed in the heart of French rurality life. It is in our countryside where we can shake people's minds and work for the acceptance of cultural and human differences. You will live with ten international and French volunteers who chose to participate in the realization of a dream: building peace in the world. Some of them will stay in the village for 6 months, others will stay for 1 year. This group will welcome you at home for three weeks. You will be integrated into their daily life.

💼 What the programme involves

Every week, a big market is organized in the heart of the village, under a large market hall. One of the market stone walls is not very clean. You will be in charge of renovating the seals between the stones. You will be accompanied by a technical leader. On site, you will have the opportunity to meet the local people who will most certainly be delighted and pleasantly surprised by your initiative.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will sleep in the House of Companions with long-term volunteers, in large dormitories. You will have to cook in teams in the collective kitchen. You will have access to the sanitary facilities (showers and toilets) of the house.

📍 About the location

The picturesque village of Laguépie is located 100 km north-east of Toulouse, between Rodez and Montauban and near Albi. Leisure activities: You will choose with your group the activities that you wish to do. You will have the opportunity to enjoy local festivities (concerts, shows...) and have the opportunity to discover the natural and cultural heritage. You can enjoy swimming, walks, meetings with the local youth of Laguépie, organize pizza evenings near the bread oven, game parties, visit medieval villages such as Najac, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Saint-Antonin Noble Val... Visits to farms where you can taste the local specialties will also be organised.
