🏢 About the local organisation
The town of Montautour has a very rich and remarkable construction heritage. The city center is protected as Historical Monument. Restoration works started a few years ago. Today, there is still one major part of this heritage which needs to be renovated to finalize the project. In order to help the town, Compagnons Bâtisseurs is supporting this project. The local authority called Vitré Communauté decided to support it by organising an international workcamp. There is large amount of work to be done.
Workcamp will take place for the third consecutive year! The local partners want to use the workcamp to encourage local youth to move and commit themselves to the project. It will be the opportunity for you to meet the young people of Montautour : they will happily show you their region and their culture.
