Whatever the season in Brittany, you have to foresee at least a warm clothing set (trousers, sweater, socks, closed shoes, rain clothes) and a light one (skirt or shorts, tshirt, open shoes). We say here that all four seasons can take place during a day! Please also take with you work clothes, gloves and shoes in addition to your best swimsuit. 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.
