ON THE CHURCH STEPS

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In the East of the department of Dordogne, Thenon is a charming place lined by the Barade forest. Very dynamic village of 1600 inhabitants, Thenon is located between Périgueux and Brive-la-Gaillarde cities, halfway between the departments of Dordogne and Corrèze. The center of the village is very lively, and gives way to an important local animation: creative craftsmen, storekeepers and artists are gathered in the « Street of Arts ». The municipality is happy to welcome you!

💼 What the programme involves

At the heart of the village, you will revalue the accesses to the church: from the impressive main staircase, through the connecting path, you will give a new breath to this beautiful church. At first, you will have to do some cleaning and weeding. Then, you will discover some stonework works: repointing of paving stones and some steps. Your intervention will have a direct impact on the population. You will also be invited to take part in many animations of the village the summer!

🏠 Accommodation on site

In a common room of the multi-purpose hall, with kitchen and sanitary facilities nearby. Food is included, and you will cook in turns.

📍 About the location

Thenon is 35 kms from Brive-la-Gaillarde and Périgueux, and 15 kms from Montignac. During your spare time, you will have many things to do: canoeing, tree-climbing, hiking and activities in partnership with the leisure center, markets... every day, something happens in Thenon! The local associations and the inhabitants will be glad to share with you friendly moments, in particular on the occasion of the international meal!
