🏢 About the local organisation
This workcamp will be organized for the 3rd time in this small town of 1700 inhabitants, where is located the Park Asterix, close to other partner municipalities of Concordia and nearby the Val d'Oise County. During the construction of the library, we found out an old underground passage, linked to a famous “Gothic” cave. This space has been preserved, with the creation of a staircase and opening for ventilation. The GHAP (Group of History and Archeology of Plailly) wants to pursue the renovation of this space to open it as often as possible during the year, and exhibit there ancient tools, fossils and so on... (At least tools that can be stored in a room like this cave).
💼 What the programme involves
Last year, volunteers have discovered a new cave down the first one. This cave was totally unknown, completely forgotten! All of the joints will be rambled and joined back with lime mortar. There will also be some stones to carve.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You'll sleep in tents, with boys and girls separated. You can use the sports hall for to the daily life, the changing rooms are equipped with hot showers. There's a big hall with sports mats for daily life and leisure.

For the accommodation under tents, bring your sleeping bag and floor mat. Please feel free to bring some food specialities, pictures, musical instrument: things you like and want to share with the group and the local community!
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
