💼 What the programme involves
Come and liven up a small town in the heart of Brittany by enhancing a beautiful site near a creek! The municipality of Bon Repos sur Blavet welcomes you for its third international workcamp where you will help to enhance a site at the west of the town where a ruined chapel is located, the chapel of Troluzon! This is a unique opportunity to discover the local culture and make unforgettable intergenerational encounters. Following on from projects carried out in 2020 and 2021, you will work on this picturesque site: after having cleaned the site, the idea is now to consolidate the walls and to secure the roof in order to turn it into a meeting place for the inhabitants. You will also participate in the construction of a barbecue!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep in two-person tents (please bring your sleeping mat and a warm sleeping bag) near the sport field. You will have access to showers and toilets within the sport venue, and a semi-outdoor kitchen will also be fitted to your needs. The group activities and meals will take place in a room made available to the group. The group will share the cleaning chores and prepare meals together. The budget will be allocated to the group leader, shopping will be done with him/her and you will participate in the preparation of meals with products from the market and local producers (if possible).
A WIFI connection is available nearby your campsite.

ℹ️ Additional information
You will have to bring warm clothes (trousers, sweaters, socks, closed shoes, raincoats) and light ones (skirts or shorts, t-shirt, open shoes) because weather can change very suddenly in Brittany.

Bring a warm sleeping bag and an insulated camping mat as nights are sometimes fresh and wet.
