About the project

THE SWIMMING POOL IN THE MEADOW

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The small commune of Vibrac is located in the south-west of France, in the Cognac region, in the heart of the Charente countryside, close to the Lande forest and a short distance from the banks of the Gironde estuary. This commune of 200 inhabitants has its own intercommunal swimming pool, managed by a group of 7 villages.

💼 What the programme involves

The aim of the project is to clean the building housing the showers and the kiosk and to design a fresco! Supervised by a technical team specialising in masonry and drawing, you will work on the fresco on the premises. First, you'll have to clean the walls with a high-pressure cleaner, then you'll have to draw and paint the new fresco that will decorate the swimming pool. You'll be working mornings of 5 to 6 hours. Come with your work clothes or clothes that may be damaged or dirty. We will provide you with safety equipment. No qualifications are required for this project.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will sleep in 2-person tents in the pool area. You must bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. Bicycles are available for exploring the area. Food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Meals will be prepared, in turn, by you, especially for lunch and dinner, while respecting environmental values and local resources, as well as everyone's culture (hot and cold dishes as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes will be prepared).
