About the project

THE COVERED WASHHOUSE OF SERGEAC

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Sergeac is located in the Black Perigord on the banks of the Vézère River, bordered at this location by high cliffs at the foot of which numerous prehistoric deposits have been discovered. Full of history, the village was built around an imposing fortified church and a Templar castle. The small town is multiplying its actions in favour of the environment, of a better living environment, the restoration of its listed and unlisted heritage... It is in this context that the international workcamp of young volunteers is taking place. The mayor, Isabelle DAUMAS-CASTANET, and all the inhabitants of Sergeac will be delighted to receive you for this project which is close to their hearts. The renovation of this covered lavatory represents much more than remembering the past. It is about uniting the population around a project of general interest and openminding to international and mixity. In this way, you will live a rich multicultural experience at the rhythm of your dynamism and creativity. You will discover the inhabitant\'s hospitality and the charm of the landscapes and heritage, by organising your programme of activities with the other volunteers and leaders.

💼 What the programme involves

It will take place in the morning. Two teams will be composed: the first one will work on the roof and the second one on the wash house. For the roof, it will be necessary to remove, clean and install the tiles as well as put new battens. This work will be done at height, so beware of those who are afraid of heights. As for the work around the wash house, it will consist of cleaning the basin, restoring the floor (putting the stones back in place), and clearing the surrounding area... You will have the opportunity to discover multiple aspects of manual work.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Sleeping will be in tents (floor mattresses provided), you will have access to a covered area, sanitary facilities and a kitchen where you will be able to take turns preparing good food. Remember to bring your duvet and a pillow.

📍 About the location
