About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Aix is a small pedestrian island located in the Atlantic ocean. Marked by a strong maritime past, it contains lots of historical places, especially Liedot Fort, built by Vauban and classified as historical monument. Close partner of Solidarités Jeunesses, Aix Island has hosted international workcamps for several years.

💼 What the programme involves

This year, you'll work on the large west stone shooting site restoration, right across Liédot Fort. You'll de-vegetate the site in order to start traditional masonry work on rubble stone walls. You'll also replace the stones, to jut in and join with hydraulic lime.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Dorms (4 beds), at the Armand Fallières accommodation center, near Liedot Fort. Food provided, meals prepared by you.

📍 About the location

What a panel of activities you'll have this year in Aix Island! 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 cities like La Rochelle and Rochefort.
