📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The city council of Fa and its inhabitants are looking forward to host an international workcamp next summer. They already organized one last summer, and were very welcoming with the international volunteers. In this remote area of France, at the threshold of the Pyrénées mountains, you may feel isolated or far from everything, but you will definitely feel welcomed and invited in the community of people living here. Through the work and the exchange with other volunteers and villagers, you will become part of the community of this little remote lovely place called Fa.
💼 What the programme involves
You will be engaged in the restoration work of the Fa's Tower. This square tower overlooks the village since the middle ages, and is quite famous in the area as it is the main tourist attraction of the village. The work will not be directly on the tower, but will concern the surrounding area. The goal is to clean and reorganize the surrounding area (cutting trees to make more space, put flowers, install a picnic table) so it becomes a welcoming space for the hikers and the tourists coming through.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will put up your tents in the heart of the village (with access to bathrooms and a kitchen in a nearby building) and will have the opportunity to exchange with all the inhabitants who will welcome you and share their daily life in this remote area.
📍 About the location
Fa is a village located near the Pyrénées Mountains in the south of France. This village is inhabited by a couple hundreds of people who live in a spirit of community.
Leisure activities: Don't be fooled, remote doesn't mean quiet and cold. You will enjoy the rich culture of the area, a live-concert in the local café, the summer festival in a village of the area, and plenty of discovering of the natural surroundings of the area. Even the mayor will give you a tour and share with you the history of the surroundings.
