About the project

DISCOVERING THE BOCAGE

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The community of communes of the Bocage Bourbonnais is engaged in policies of animation and promotion of their territory. Therfore, it organizes a workcamp every year to give volunteers the chance to explore the beautiful region that gave birth to the Bourbon dynasty (king of France during the XVI – XIX centuries). This year, the workcamp will take place in two different towns.

💼 What the programme involves

In the first town, Saint Plaisir, you will repair and mark up a walking trail. You will also work on restoring the church's doors by repainting them with natural ochre paint that you will make beforehand. In the second town, Bourbon l’Archambault, you will clean up a community living-room. The work will consist of building partitions, painting, and you may also participate in the reparation of a dry-stone wall.

🏠 Accommodation on site

In multi-purpose rooms of different villages. The food will be provided, and the meals will be prepared by rotating groups of volunteers.

📍 About the location

Saint Plaisir and Bourbon l’Archambault located 40 km west of Moulins sur Allier. You will have the oppotunity to visit and discover the region and all it has to offer : the Trivoli Garden, the medieval fair of Souvigny, and its historical heritage sites. A small bus will be provided for your trips.
