Travail

This workcamp is organised by the city of Saint-Quentin and the Isle park located in the national nature reserve of the Isles swamps. The main aim is to remodel the different discovery trails and make them more accessible.

You will not only bond with the local inhabitants and the visitors who take a walk in the reserve, but also refurbish bridges and walkways (woodwork, painting, trail maintenance…). You will also put in place the signage system in order to help the visitors navigate the park and learn more about the species present in the swamps.

Logement et nourriture

You will live within the town’s Youth Hostel. You will have access to its shared kitchen and its sanitary facilities, individual cabins which serve as toilets, showers and washbasins (women-only and male-only).

You will share the collective life chores and will prepare meals together.
The local bus network will be the main means of transportation so the group will move in an eco-friendly way.

Situation, loisirs

Saint Quentin is a town composed of around 50 000 citizens. Located in Northern France, the city is 1h45 away from Paris and 1h away from Amiens, where you will be able to discover the richness of its historical heritage: the largest cathedral in France, the Saint-Leu district, the house of Jules Verne, the floating gardens of the Hortillonnages…

The accommodation is within the youth hostel of the city of Saint Quentin, you will be in the heart of the city and near the construction site for all the activities.

Partenaire

Saint-Quentin is rich in natural and built heritage. The city is labelled City of Art and History and has a very rich Art Deco heritage visible all throughout the city centre. As for the environment, the city also has a large national nature reserve, that of the Isles marshes, and the Somme river running through the city takes its source a few kilometres away. The youth department of the town hall is eager to help you to discover the town.

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

The meeting point is scheduled at Saint-Quentin train station at the end of the afternoon on August 23. The exact meeting time will be given with the info sheet which will be sent at least 4 weeks before the start of the workcamp.

From PARIS, you can take a train from PARIS - Gare Du Nord train station, regular departures are scheduled throughout the day (one train per hour). It is roughly a less than two-hour trip.

The trains are open to booking about 4 months before the departure dates, accessible on the following website: https://www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/

If you are coming first by plane, remember that you will need some time to commute from the airport to the train station, therefore we recommend that you arrive early enough for you not to rush and have a stress-free travel.

Commentaires additionnels

Remember to bring work clothes for the work site as well as tight shoes. There might be aquatic activities so remember to take a bathing suit. For the accommodation, take your sleeping bag. You can also bring specialties, photos, musical instruments: whatever you like and want to share during the workcamp, either with the local population or with the group of volunteers!

On the last day (07/09), the departure time is usually set in the morning.

Travail

Discover the village of Avricourt, a small town typical of Picardie!
Come and participate in the renovation of the small church of Avricourt, one of the few churches in the area that survived the First World War.

In the continuity of the masonry work from the previous workcamps you will participate in the renovation of the main wall. You will carry out traditional masonry work on the large facade of the church: (re)jointing the walls, staking, repointing and even laying new bricks and stones. Part of the work may require climbing on scaffolding up to a certain height.

Logement et nourriture

The village hall will be at your disposal as a place to live, which includes a well-equipped kitchen (community oven, dishwasher, big fridge etc.). Individual tents will be provided as well as a fallback solution in the village hall in case of bad weather. Please note that only one shower and one toilet will be available on site.

The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together. The budget will be allocated to the group leader and you will participate in the grocery shopping and in the preparation of meals, prioritising healthy products from local producers.

Situation, loisirs

Avricourt is located 15 km from Noyon, in the North of Oise. In a central location in Picardie, you can visit Amiens, its cathedral and its “hortillonnages” (floating gardens), Compiegne and its imperial palace, Noyon and its historical centre. You can also hike in the surrounding countryside among cereal fields and small pasture valleys. If you are a nature lover, you could even discover the educational beehive with the school children and the beehives of a small local producer. A concert given by the local band in the church is planned the day before the departure of the volunteers.

Partenaire

The village of Avricourt is a historical partner of our office. The small village of barely 200 inhabitants does everything in its power to give the best welcome to the volunteers: communal meals, invitations to eat, donations of jams and other vegetables from the garden are normal in Avricourt. In a nutshell, many exchanges are in prospect, especially since you will organise meetings and animations in the village and at the school with the help of the animation team.

Please bring work clothes for the construction site and tight shoes. For the accommodation in tents please don’t forget your sleeping bag as well as a sleeping mat for more comfort.
