Nature lovers, join us in the rehabilitation of the Sente de la Folie!
Come take part in the renovation of part of the Sente de la Folie located in a charming municipality in the north of the department of Yvelines, 40km west of Paris. Surrounded by greenery and History, you will immerse yourself in a project that will not leave you indifferent, as much through the beauty of its landscapes, as through the spirit of the workcamp to which you will contribute.
💼 What the programme involves
You will continue the rehabilitation of a localized path near the town of Evecquemont. This path is part of a route that borders the village and is very appreciated by walkers and kids on their way to school. You will participate in the maintenance and layout of the trail, in particular by the rehabilitation of an old wall. This area is presented in the form of terraces materialized by the remains of a stone wall located upstream of the trail, and another one downstream.
You will animate meetings with the inhabitants of the municipality around the culture and the environment and also will propose activities to share your experiences and your culture with them!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be housed in hard-wall, throughout the duration of the construction, in a municipal building located behind the Town Hall. Mattresses will be installed in a large room with access to the kitchen, toilet and shower. You will share the different collective tasks with the other volunteers, like the preparation of meals.
