About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Aix Island (Île d'Aix in French) is a small pedestrian island in the Atlantic Ocean. For several years, Île d'Aix has hosted international workcamps as part of the restoration of Fort Liédot, in partnership with the Conservatoire du Littoral (the French coastal protection agency).

💼 What the programme involves

This year, you will work on the restoration of the large west stone shooting site, which faces the Liédot Fort. The work will consist in de-vegetating the site in order to start traditional masonry work on rubble walls. You will also have to replace the stones, to jut in and join with hydraulic lime.

🏠 Accommodation on site

In collective rooms in a hosting centre near the Fort Liédot. Meals will be prepared by kitchen teams, in turns.

📍 About the location

Île-d'Aix, 20 km away from Rochefort-sur Mer. You will be able to do many activities as visiting the tourist places around, enjoying nature, organizing dinners with the local inhabitants…
