Travail

Come and experience an exhilarating adventure by participating in a workcamp in the heart of Brittany! The town of Merleac welcomes you to its first international workcamp and needs your help to renovate the perimeter wall of its petanque court! You will work on rebuilding this structure, originally built during the time of the presbytery and now collapsed. This will be an opportunity for you to learn traditional masonry techniques, as well as to make unforgettable connections with young people from all over the world and warm-hearted locals who will welcome you with open arms.

Logement et nourriture

You will be accommodated in tents (provided by Concordia) in the village, and a 5-minute walk from the worksite! Group life will be organized nearby in a room provided for the group. There, you will share the various group tasks and activities. Together, you will participate in organizing group life (cleaning, activities, etc.) and take turns preparing meals using products you will purchase locally. The activity leaders will have a budget to cover these expenses, but you will be responsible for preparing the menus and doing your own shopping. A vegetarian diet using local and seasonal products will be preferred, while respecting the participants' dietary requirements and allowing you to discover local cuisine.

Situation, loisirs

Merleac is a small corner of Brittany near the town of Loudeac, in the Cotes-d'Armor department. Nearby Lake Bosméléac offers opportunities for wonderful kayaking trips. And the sea is less than an hour away by car! You will be provided with a minibus for your transportation needs.

Partenaire

The town's elected officials are very committed to youth and culture. They are delighted to welcome a group of international youth to bring their community to life for this first project with Concordia. The municipality's goal is for the group to have extensive contact with local youth as well as residents! Get ready for some wonderful encounters!

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

The meeting point is at the LOUDEAC BUS STATION on July 8th in the late afternoon.
The exact meeting time will be communicated with the route sheet, which will be sent at least four weeks before the start of the work.
Several trains depart from Paris Montparnasse station to Rennes. The journey takes approximately two hours. You will then need to take a TER BreizhGo bus, which will take you to your destination, Loudeac.
If possible, please consider using low-carbon transportation (train and bus rather than airplane) for a sustainable international workcamp.
Train reservations are available approximately four months before departure on the SNCF website, via the link below: https://www.sncf-connect.com/
You can find the Breizh Go bus schedule to Loudéac here: https://www.breizhgo.bzh/se-deplacer-en-bretagne/se-deplacer-en-car/interdepartementales

This first journey is the first step of the adventure, so make sure you enjoy it!

Commentaires additionnels

Regardless of the season in Brittany, you should bring at least one warm outfit (pants, sweater, socks, closed-toe shoes, rain gear) and one light outfit (skirt or shorts, t-shirt, open-toe shoes). Here, it's said that all four seasons can be experienced in one day! Also, remember to bring work clothes and closed shoes, a swimsuit for swimming. Nights can be chilly, so bring a good, warm sleeping bag and an insulated sleeping mat.
Social events will be organised together with your campleaders. If you'd like to share a little piece of your culture (recipes, traditional stories, unusual objects, music, etc.), don't hesitate to take something with you !

The last day is dedicated to departure, usually in the morning.
