Travail

Come and enjoy the warm welcome of the inhabitants of a small town at the seaside!
The town council of Plouguerneau welcomes you for its second international workcamp where you will help to restore its built heritage, in the heart of its countryside. An opportunity to experience the local culture and to make unforgettable inter-generational encounters.
In addition to participating in the reconstruction, you will discover the history of the town!
You will restore a washhouse, using traditional masonry techniques. The intervention will focus on the masonry and the restoration of the church.

Logement et nourriture

You will sleep in tents near the sports field (please bring your sleeping mat and a warm sleeping bag). The group activities and meals will take place closeby in a room made available to the group. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together. The budget will be allocated to the camp leaders and you will participate in the shopping and the preparation of meals with products from the market and local producers, (if possible).

Situation, loisirs

Plouguerneau (around 6500 inhabitants) is located in the county of “Finistere”. There are several hiking trails around the town. You will be able to go on a trip to the sea or to do leisure activities in the town of Brest (around 140 000 inhabitants), only 25 km from Plouguerneau. You will also be able to share convivial moments with the inhabitants and the young people of the town.

Partenaire

Plouguerneau is a small rural town of about 6500 inhabitants located on the Brittany coast. It is a charming village, with a few lighthouses near the sea. This first workcamp allows it to restore its local heritage. The inhabitants are delighted to see people from all countries coming to help reconstruct their history.

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

The meeting point is scheduled at BREST train station on the 05/07 at the end of the afternoon. The exact meeting time will be given with the infosheet which will be sent at the latest 4 weeks before the start of the workcamp.

From PARIS, you can take the train from Montparnasse train station, regular departures are scheduled throughout the day. The trip is about 3 hours long.
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.
The trains are open to booking about 4 months before the departure dates, accessible on the following website:

Commentaires additionnels

You will have to bring warm clothes (trousers, sweater, socks, closed shoes, rain clothes) and light ones (skirts or shorts, t-shirts, open shoes) because the weather can change very suddenly in Brittany. You can literally experience all four seasons in one day! Please also take with you working clothes, gloves and shoes in addition to your swimsuit. Bring a warm sleeping bag and an insulated camping mat as nights are sometimes fresh and wet.

On the last day (17/07), the departure time is usually set in the morning.
