Help restore a historic cobbled path at the entrance to the town of Bazas, in the middle of the Entre-deux-Mers vineyards!
You'll start this restoration project by clearing the weeds between the stones and then repairing the joints that have been destroyed through time. The section you'll be working on corresponds to one of the historic entrances of the town, which is surrounded by walls. The path goes under a stone gate, the Porte du Gisquet. You will be supervised by a technical guide who will teach you various traditional methods.

Logement et nourriture

You will be accommodated in individual tents, with sanitary facilities, a kitchen and a communal living room, in the sports facilities of the town of Bazas. You will share the various collective tasks (cleaning, activities, etc.). A budget will be allocated to the leaders, and you will help with shopping and preparing meals, giving priority to seasonal and local products. We want to encourage vegetarian eating with local and seasonal products, while respecting participants' diets and discovering local cuisine together. WIFI is available and you will be able to hand-wash clothes.

Situation, loisirs

Bazas is a commune in south-west France, in the Gironde department, situated in the middle of a rich vineyard area. You'll have many opportunities to explore the surrounding castles, villages and vineyards. To the north-west, around 1h30 drive away, you'll find the city of Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town of Bazas is the capital of the “Bazadais” region and a former bishopric, it has preserved a wealth of monuments, some of which date back to the Middle Ages and are symbolized by the Saint-Jean-Baptiste cathedral.
During the summer season, the town of Bazas organizes numerous events and village festivals, which you'll have the chance to take part in. With its market, cathedral, cafés, craftsmen and narrow streets, Bazas is a lively village! There are many natural sites in the area, including spots for kayaking and canoeing.

Partenaire

The town of Bazas has a project to restore this footpath that gives way to the town’s center. It is a popular route into the town for local residents, but it is now difficult for people with reduced mobility to use it. It is also part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage trail, used by tourists who come to explore the city and its famous cathedral.

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

The meeting point is the LANGON train station on 03/07 in the late afternoon.
The exact time of the meeting will be communicated with the infosheet, which will be sent out no later than 4 weeks before the start of the project.

Several direct trains (approximately one per hour) leave Paris for Bordeaux. The journey takes between 2 and 3 hours.

If possible, please consider using low-carbon transportation (train and bus rather than airplane) for a sustainable international workcamp.

Train reservations can be made approximately 4 months before departure on the SNCF website, link below: https://www.sncf-connect.com/

Depending on the progress of the work, you may also take part in clearing an old railway line, a task that will help highlight and enhance this historically significant site.
In addition to the outdoor activities, one day will be dedicated to a cultural project: you will help move the local museum by transporting artworks and paintings to their new premises. As well as another day, to meet local inhabitants in Doullens Beach.
A varied workcamp, combining nature and culture, encouraging meaningful encounters with local residents and active involvement in the life of the territory!

Logement et nourriture

Collective living will be at the heart of this experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be managed by the animation team for grocery shopping, and you will be encouraged to use fresh, local, and seasonal products for healthy and delicious meals.

Situation, loisirs

Doullens is located in the northern part of the Somme, at the crossroads between Amiens, Arras, and Abbeville. This strategic position places it within easy reach of historical and cultural landmarks, including the stunning Gothic cathedral of Amiens, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the vibrant city of Arras, known for its beautiful squares and underground tunnels.
Surrounded by picturesque countryside, Doullens offers a peaceful setting perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking and exploring the region’s rich history. Volunteers will have the opportunity to visit nearby sites like the Doullens Citadel, Samara archeological park or explore the remnants of World War I battlefields. During the summer, local events, markets, and cultural festivities like Doullens beach (sand without water) will add to the experience. With the support of the team, outings and activities will be organized to fully enjoy the region’s heritage, nature, and warm community atmosphere.

Partenaire

The EPCC of the Somme is a long-standing partner of Concordia. After an initial collaboration in 2019 at the Samara archaeological site, followed by a successful workcamp in 2025 at the Citadel of Doullens, this partnership continues with new heritage enhancement projects. Building on this positive experience, the partners have decided to go further this year by developing initiatives that encourage even more interaction with local residents.
The town of Doullens and the EPCC are fully committed to welcoming volunteers and will do everything possible to offer a friendly and enriching experience. New ideas have been introduced to strengthen connections with the local community, including meetings, activities, and shared moments throughout the project. This workcamp is a unique opportunity to actively contribute to the preservation of a remarkable historical site while enjoying a meaningful cultural and human experience.

Join us on the coast to help protect the dunes, beaches, and the National Nature Reserve! Your job will be to inform visitors about how to take care of these areas, especially during the nesting season of little plovers, to protect these fragile birds and their habitats.
Volunteers will prepare and run information stands, including at the Baie Sonore festival, both before and during the event. You will also lead fun activities and educational walks for holidaymakers at local campsites. These actions will help share knowledge, encourage people to respect nature, and raise awareness about fragile coastal ecosystems.
This project is a full experience in environmental education. You will learn how tourism affects natural areas and why protecting biodiversity is important. You will play an important role: your work will directly help visitors understand and care for this special natural area with dunes, beaches, and protected zones.
Come discover a unique environment and help protect it while learning skills in animation and environmental education!

Logement et nourriture

You will stay in a tent at the Rue campsite. There will be a large communal tent for meals and gathering, with a space to stay dry if it rains. Toilets and showers are available at the campsite.
Living together is an important part of the experience: everyone helps with daily tasks and prepares meals together. A budget will be used to buy food, trying to focus on fresh, local, and seasonal products for healthy and balanced meals.

Situation, loisirs

The project is in the Baie de Somme, a beautiful area known for its rich biodiversity and varied landscapes: dunes, salt marshes, wetlands, and mudflats. The Bay is a Grand Site of France and attracts many visitors, making public awareness important.
In addition to beach and dune work, volunteers can visit famous local sites like the Samara archaeological park or World War I battlefields. In summer, there are local events, markets, and festivals to enjoy.
The Marquenterre Park is a major natural reserve for migratory birds and wetlands. Your project will help protect biodiversity and teach visitors how to care for fragile ecosystems.

As work on the site began last year, you will have the opportunity to complete the building by restoring the four surrounding walls. Regular work on scaffolding, using traditional construction techniques. You will, of course, be assisted by professionals.
But the project doesn't stop there! You will also be responsible for retracing the history of the Viollins mill through an artistic project that you will carry out in collaboration with the village residents.

Logement et nourriture

You will stay in a dedicated area in the heart of the forest where individual tents will be pitched (and provided). Meals will be prepared outdoors. The group will have to build a clay oven for bread, and cooking will be done over a campfire. To keep food cool, a bucket in the river will serve as a refrigerator. You will share various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the facilitators, and you will participate in shopping and meal preparation, with priority on healthy, local products. A recipe booklet will be provided to encourage responsible purchasing and sustainable eating.

Situation, loisirs

The municipality and valley of Freissinieres are located in the Hautes-Alpes (05) at the gateway to the Ecrins National Park, in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region. The Viollins mill construction site is located downstream from the town in the direction of Freissinieres. It is situated on the banks of the Biaysse torrent.
In winter as in summer, this sheltered valley offers a wide variety of activities: exploring the region and its specialties, hiking, outdoor sports, meeting locals and engaging in intercultural exchanges, and more.

Partenaire

This project is being carried out in collaboration with the Freissinieres municipality and the Ecrins National Park. The municipality wishes to restore the Viollins mill, a building that is part of the municipality's rural heritage and could also become a shelter for walkers.
The municipality will be responsible for installing the kitchen area, purchasing materials and equipment, preparing the site, applying for building permits, and storing the materials needed to build the framework.

Dive into history while taking part in a dynamic collective project at Saint-Gerald’s Castle!

Built in the 13th century and rediscovered in 1974, the remains are now entering a new phase of restoration, inviting volunteers to contribute to their revival. The aim is not only to restore an ancient site but also to enjoy a meaningful experience: learning construction techniques, working as a team, exploring an impressive natural environment, and spending two weeks with other young people from diverse backgrounds. The workcamp will combine hands-on tasks, exchanges, and discovery in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.
This participatory project will help create reception areas for future visitors. Supervision will be provided to guide volunteers in learning restoration techniques. The work will be adapted to different levels of experience, blending technical tasks with discussions on the site’s history and conservation. Come help bring new life to the remains of Saint-Gerald’s Castle and contribute to the vitality of the surrounding area!

Givors, with a population of 20,000, is located in the Lyon metropolitan area, about 20 kilometers from Lyon, easily accessible by public transport. The town is strategically positioned between the Rhone Valley and the Pilat mountain range, offering both urban and natural settings.
With a rich industrial and working-class past, Givors has a varied architectural and cultural heritage, blending historical remains with contemporary achievements. Nearby, the city of Vienne, with its remarkable Gallo-Roman sites, and Saint-Etienne, the design capital, add to the region’s many cultural discoveries.
Crossed by the ViaRhona, a cycling route linking Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean Sea, Givors is also an ideal starting point for walks that combine urban spaces with nature, including orchards and gardens. The Pilat Regional Natural Park and the Monts du Lyonnais, close by, offer hiking opportunities through diverse and preserved landscapes.
During the stay, leisure activities will be organized according to the group’s preferences and pace. Hiking, cycling, and river swimming will allow participants to explore the area’s natural beauty. With support from the local partner, bicycles will be available to facilitate travel and promote eco-friendly exploration. Cultural visits may also be arranged to explore local heritage and emblematic sites.

You will take part in the fourth collaboration between the city of Givors and Concordia, a partnership launched in 2022 to restore and promote the remains of Chateau Saint-Gerald. This workcamp represents an important step in a shared commitment to protect local heritage through several upcoming projects.

This initiative is built on close cooperation between the city of Givors, its Cultural Affairs Department, and a specialized architect working specifically on the site’s restoration. The municipality also wants this workcamp to be open to the local community: the association Les Amis de la Colline, young people from the Givors Local Youth Mission, the local shopkeepers’ association, and residents will all be involved throughout the stay, creating opportunities for exchange and mutual discovery. Volunteers will have the chance to share their cultures, meet people from the area, and take part in a friendly, collective atmosphere that goes beyond the work itself.

Come experience life in a castle in a magnificent corner of Normandy! This is the first year of partnership between Concordia and the association Un Nouveau Monde, which promotes 18th-century Norman heritage.
By hosting this workcamp, the association hopes to showcase the farmhouse adjoining the Chateau de Lantheuil. The goal of the farmhouse restoration is to create an eco-museum dedicated to Norman history within a few years.
This year, you'll be starting the farmhouse restoration! Your task will be to clear the grounds: the garden and main house have been heavily overgrown for several years. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in organizing and running the first "Harvest Festival," which will take place on August 22nd.

This is Versailles! You'll be staying at the “Gite de la Ferme des Chataigniers” (Chestnut Farm Gite): https://bayeux-bessin-tourisme.com/fr/hebergement/chambres-d-hotes/vienne-en-bessin/la-ferme-des-chataigniers.
However, the gite's maximum capacity is 10 beds. So, for those who enjoy being close to nature, you can camp! In that case, don't hesitate to bring a good sleeping bag, as the nights can be chilly. The tents are provided by Concordia. The gite is 6 km from the construction site, but a minibus will be available for transportation! You'll share the various group tasks and prepare meals (mostly vegetarian) together. A budget will be allocated to the activity leaders, and you'll participate in shopping and meal preparation, prioritizing healthy and local products. You're welcome to share your recipes if you wish.

Discover the town of Saint-Maximin and take part in a project at the heart of local community life!
Following several successful initiatives in the area, a new challenge awaits you: the creation of two petanque areas, true places for meeting and socializing, located both in a neighborhood of the town and near the church.
This workcamp has a special dimension, as it aims to revitalize public spaces and encourage interaction between residents, especially with local young people who will be actively involved in the project.
Throughout the workcamp, you will take part in different stages of the construction: preparing the ground, marking out the areas, leveling the surfaces, and setting up the pétanque courts. The goal is to create four accessible, sustainable, and welcoming playing areas for everyone.
But this project goes beyond manual work! You will also be involved in co-creating activities and moments of exchange with local youth: pétanque initiations, social events, intercultural exchanges… plenty of opportunities to build connections and bring these new spaces to life from the very beginning.
A rich collective experience combining practical work, community engagement, and shared moments, leaving a lasting and meaningful impact on the town!

Logement et nourriture

Your accommodation will be located in the garden of the "Maison pour Tous Nelson-Mandela", a bourgeois-style house from the end of the 19th century, which hosts the communal music workshops, exhibitions as well as cultural and leisure associations.
The group will have access to the kitchen of this house. You will sleep under individual tents. Large tents will be installed for the collective life. The infrastructures of the municipal stadium (300 metres away) will offer access to showers with a separation between girls and boys. You will share the various collective chores and prepare meals together, prioritising local products from the market.

Situation, loisirs

Saint-Maximin (3 000 inhabitants) is located in the department of Oise, 70km from Paris. The region has a rich historical heritage that you can discover nearby: The Chantilly Castle, the Compiegne Imperial Palace or the Pierrefonds Castle. Each year, in addition to outings, leisure activities are scheduled (St Leu d'Esserent water sports centre, swimming pool...).
Activities are planned with the youth service of the town to include you in the activities planned during the summer like the July 14th celebrations and meetings with the local population.

Partenaire

The small town of Saint-Maximin, nestled at the heart of the stone quarries of the South of Oise, has an uncommon cultural heritage (troglodyte houses, old open-air quarries, mushroom beds, etc.) that it promotes in its museum "La Maison de la Pierre".
Today, there are still five stone quarries in use in Saint-Maximin. The stone extracted from them is mainly used for the restoration of historical monuments (Paris City Hall or the Arc de Triomphe). The quarries of Saint-Maximin also provide the clay used for the tennis courts of Roland-Garros. An initiation to stone cutting is planned during your stay!

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

The meeting is planned at the CHANTILLY-GOUVIEUX train station on August 05th at the end of the day. The exact time of the meeting will be communicated with the info sheet, sent at least 4 weeks before the beginning of the workcamp.

From PARIS, regular trains leave from the Gare du Nord train station for CHANTILLY-GOUVIEUX (30-minute 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. As the accommodation is under tents, remember to bring your sleeping bag as well as a floor mat or a camping mattress for more comfort.
Don't forget your bathing suit in case you are going to swim in the pool or at the St Leu d'Esserent water sports centre. You can also bring back specialities from your country, photos, musical instruments, in short what you like and want to share on this workcamp, either with the local population or with the group!

Remarques

Welcome to Dannes, a village nestled between sea and forest, where you will take part in a unique environmental project in the heart of the Mont Saint-Frieux natural area. This exceptional site, shaped by wind and time, is a fragile ecosystem that requires active protection and careful management.

This year’s workcamp focuses on the maintenance and restoration of wetland and dune environments. Your main tasks will include mowing and clearing wetland areas to preserve their ecological balance, cutting back willow growth, and removing dense vegetation along hiking trails. These actions are essential to maintain biodiversity, support local wildlife, and ensure safe access to the site.

You will also take part in the upkeep and reopening of hiking paths by clearing overgrown sections and improving trail accessibility for visitors. Alongside experienced environmental professionals, you will learn practical conservation techniques and discover how to manage sensitive natural habitats.

Fully immersed in this outstanding landscape, you will actively contribute to the protection of a valuable natural heritage while enjoying the proximity of the coast and surrounding wilderness. A meaningful experience combining environmental action, learning, and discovery!

Logement et nourriture

You will be accommodated in individual tents in the park of the former chateau of Dannes, just a few meters from the beach. One of the chateau’s rooms will serve as a communal living space. Sanitary facilities will be available on-site, though without hot water, while showers will be accessible at the town’s stadium, a 10-minute walk away. You will share daily collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the camp leaders, and you will take part in grocery shopping, prioritizing healthy and local products.

Situation, loisirs

Dannes (2,000 inhabitants) is located in the Pas-de-Calais department, in the Hauts-de-France region. Situated near the Boulogne urban area, it is easily accessible by public transport. The region boasts a rich historical heritage, which you can explore nearby: the stunning Bay of Somme, various coastal forts, and the crypt of the Notre-Dame Basilica, among other sites. Numerous hikes will be offered on the mountain slopes, along with opportunities to discover the local fauna and flora.
For more information about the town, visit: https://www.ville-dannes.fr/

Partenaire

The EDEN 62 association is a long-standing partner of Concordia, committed to the preservation and enhancement of natural spaces in the Pas-de-Calais region. In 2019, we already collaborated with them on the first European Solidarity Corps (ESC) team project, an innovative and enriching experience. More recently, in 2025, a first European project carried out together was a great success, confirming the strength and quality of this cooperation. Building on this positive momentum, this partnership is now being renewed to further develop international workcamps in a spirit of cooperation and knowledge sharing.

As a key actor in environmental protection, EDEN 62 works to safeguard local biodiversity through the management of sensitive natural areas, public awareness activities, and concrete field actions. Their commitment to sharing, environmental education, and the preservation of natural heritage fully aligns with Concordia’s values. In continuity with this collaboration, the municipality of Dannes has chosen to become even more involved this year by proposing additional activities and moments of exchange with local residents, in order to foster stronger interaction and community participation throughout the project.

This project thus marks the return of a valuable collaboration, with the shared ambition of combining environmental action, intercultural exchange, and civic engagement.

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

Take part in the transformation of a community space in the heart of Saint-Quentin! Located just in front of a primary school, in a priority neighborhood, this small local park needs a fresh start to become a pleasant, welcoming, and safe place for residents—especially children.
Your tasks will include earthworks to level certain areas, redesigning the pathways to improve accessibility, and repainting urban furniture to give the park a new and vibrant look. Through these activities, you will make a concrete contribution to improving the quality of life in the neighborhood.
This workcamp will also involve many interactions with local residents and children from the nearby school, offering opportunities to share meaningful moments and even co-create ideas for the space. A great experience combining community engagement, practical work, and enriching human connections!

Help restore an old mill in the charming village of Isle, in the heart of the forest! The Mill of Meynieux is a 5-10 minutes drive away from the town center, in the middle of the forest, beside a stream. It's a very naturally rich area, at the crossroads of several hiking trails.
Your mission will be to continue the rehabilitation of the site which started 5 years ago with other international volunteer workcamps. You will be specifically working on the mill run, which consists of small walls created to divert the stream and bring water up to the mill to make it work! You will be clearing weeds, strengthening the walls and rebuilding the parts of the wall which have been deteriorated by time. Some additional missions are also planned, such as building wooden furniture (picnic tables, etc.) and improvements to the surrounding area, alongside the main project to restore the mill run.
You will be supervised by a technical leader who will teach you various traditional masonry techniques.

Logement et nourriture

You will be accommodated in individual tents provided by Concordia, which will be pitched on a natural area on the premises of the local stadium. You will have access to sanitary facilities, a kitchen and a communal space, in the town’s communal sport facilities.You will be sharing various collective tasks (cleaning, cooking, team activities, etc.) in order to facilitate the management of the workcamp. A budget will be allocated to the campleaders, and you will help with the shopping and preparation of meals, giving priority to seasonal and local products. We want to encourage a vegetarian diet on this workcamp, but will accommodate participants' various diets and we will attempt to discover the local cuisine together. WIFI is available on site, and you will be able to wash your clothes by hand.

Situation, loisirs

Isle is a French town located in the Haute-Vienne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, close to the city of Limoges, famous for its porcelain, but also rich in history and heritage.
The town is proud of its exceptional natural environment. In the town centre, you will find flower gardens, green spaces and leisure facilities, alongside local shops and services. Just a few minutes walk away, Isle reveals a beautiful rural area, shaped by the two valleys of the Vienne and Aurence. Woods, meadows and farms mingle with the many local castles and manor houses in the municipality, while also enjoying the urban dynamism offered by the city of Limoges, just 5 minutes away.

Partenaire

The town of Isle has big plans to restore their old rundown mill and the miller's house, located in the middle of the town’s beautiful forest. To do so, the local community has taken many measures to improve the site. This is the sixth year that Concordia has been involved with the preservation and restoration of this site and volunteers have been working hard to restore the mill’s irrigation system. Ultimately, the town wants to bring this place back to life, and be able to reactivate the mill ! Through this project, you'll be helping to preserve the town’s old mill, while spending time in nature, and by sharing a human and cultural experience with the town’s locals.
