📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
For historic architecture lovers, stand up for the restoration of old heritage in the small but lovely town of Nuaillé. In the middle of countryside, the village is surrounded by a forest with a lot of hiking path to discover. In the middle of the town, some old buildings have been renovated and opened to the public for visiting (library, cultural room). To go on with the valorization of this heritage, the city council decided to organize an international workcamp. You’ll be involved in the improvement of a site with a chapel. During your collective leisure times, thanks to visits, hiking and local animation you will enjoy the beauty and charm of this natural and rural area of France. You’ll also be in touch with the inhabitant, who can’t wait to see you all coming for the first edition of this workcamp in their town!
💼 What the programme involves
You will be supervised by two leaders. In this first year, you will take part in the renovation of local heritage: an area with a chapel and a garage. Dismantling of the brick garage, sorting out bricks, cleaning, removing cement coating and some minor works on the chapel.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be staying in a collective accommodation in tents in a field with the toilets and a bathroom in a local football. The meals will be taken in the building. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together. The budget will be allocated to the group leader and you will participate in the preparation of dishes with good products from the market and local producers.
