Within the castle, you will realize various works of restoration of walls (ramparts, towers) using traditional techniques and help maintain the vegetation (clearing bushes, etc.) as well as many other varied tasks. There are no special skills required for the work, it's just an opportunity to learn.

Beyond this work, you will reflect together on sustainable development using traditional techniques in the restoration of the fortress, but also in the daily life of the group. Campleaders will guide you along the project. You will also take part in the touristic activities of the site by welcoming the visitors (tourists and local inhabitants) in the castle and explain the work, show the progress you have been doing the last few weeks ! Protecting this piece of heritage takes time, and a lot of energy. Come contribute to its rebuilding !


FR : Viens participer à la sauvegarde et à la valorisation de ce patrimoine d'exception !
Au sein du château, tu réaliseras plusieurs travaux de restauration accompagné par un professionnel :
- Tu apprendras des techniques de maçonnerie traditionnelle : retirer les joints usagés autour des pierres, réaliser du mortier à base de chaux et de sable que tu appliqueras sur les murs. Le coup de main se prend très vite tu verras !
- Tu participeras également à l'entretien du potager, des boiseries (entretien des barrières, construction de mobilier en palettes) et des espaces verts du château (débroussaillage).
Il n'y a pas de compétences particulières requises pour les travaux, c'est justement l'occasion d'en apprendre.
Au-delà de ces travaux, vous réfléchirez ensemble au développement durable via l'utilisation de techniques traditionnelles dans la restauration de la forteresse, mais aussi dans la vie quotidienne du groupe. Tu seras accompagné·e et guidé·e par des animateur·ice·s techniques et de vie de groupe.Tu auras l'occasion de présenter à la population locale et aux touristes les avancées auxquelles tu auras participé.
Protéger une telle bâtisse nécessite du temps, et beaucoup d'énergie, viens amener ta pierre a l'édifice !

EN : Inside a lovely little French village, the castle of Montaigu le Blin is an impressive medieval fortress, classified as Historical Monument. It is located on the top of a hill, overlooking the countryside. Since 2002, volunteers have been participating, every summer, to the restoration of the castle. These last years, the fortress has regained its beauty !
Since the 80s, volunteers come every year to restore and protect the castle. These last couple of years, volunteers restored the castle walls using traditional masonry techniques and developped the medieval vegetable garden at the bottom of the Lord's tower. This year, it's your turn to live an experience back in time !

Depuis les années 80, des bénévoles participent chaque année à la sauvegarde, la rénovation et à l'animation touristique du château, alors pourquoi pas toi ?
Ces dernières années, la forteresse s'est refaite une beauté ! Les bénévoles ont continué à faire des travaux de maçonnerie traditionnelle sur les murs du château et ont développé le potager médiéval au pied de la tour du Seigneur. A vous de prendre le flambeau !

Travail

What if you saw life in a big way this summer by discovering the Alps from Valloire!
Concordia and the town of Valloire offer you the opportunity to carry out an international volunteer workcamp in one of the most beautiful resorts in Savoy. Combine the useful with the pleasant by investing yourself in the realization of a project highlighting the local environment and the Savoyard heritage.
You will work on an old rural road in order to make it functional again for the numerous hikers who practice walking and mountain biking. On one portion, you will have to retrace the path through a wooded area by clearing the overgrown vegetation and digging up the ground to mark the path. Near one of the chapels of the village, you will carry out external installations allowing you to enjoy the calm of the mountains and the landscapes. Some minor masonry work on the facades of the chapel is also to be expected.
You don't need any skills to take part in this project. A good dose of motivation and good mood will allow you to take up this challenge!

Logement et nourriture

You will be accommodated in individual tents at the Valloire campsite. You will have access to sanitary facilities and showers within the establishment. The district will put at your disposal a part of the village hall which is located at less than 200 meters from the campsite. We will set up a kitchen and a living space for the times in collective and of withdrawal in the event of bad weather. Together, you will participate in the organization of the collective life (cleaning, activities...) and in the preparation of the meals, in turn, from products which will be bought nearby. As far as possible, we will favor vegetarian food with local and seasonal products, while respecting the diets of all the participants and discovering the local gastronomy.
In some areas of the resort, Wifi access points are available free of charge, just like at the campsite. The establishment is also equipped with a washing machine.

Situation, loisirs

Located in the department of Savoy, in the Auvergne Rhone-Alpes region, the district of Valloire extends over 17 hamlets in the heart of the Tarentaise massif and a few miles from the Italian border. In the center of the village, the altitude is 1400 meters. But if you like to go higher, the Galibier pass culminates at 2642 meters! What to discover exceptional landscapes. Many hikes are waiting for you like the one leading to the Lake of Cerces. In a close perimeter, many lakes with swimming area will allow you to refresh yourself. And if you appreciate heritage, you can discover the original Fort du Telegraphe. As far as gastronomy is concerned, you will not miss (re)discovering the Savoyard cheeses produced on the spot!
The resort has many sports and cultural facilities (swimming pool, cinema, media library...) as well as local shops.

Partenaire

The town of Valloire is a tourist resort in summer and winter. It is a welcoming resort that regularly organizes many events to discover the richness of its territory and the Savoyard culture. Throughout the year, inhabitants and tourists meet in a friendly atmosphere that combines access to both leisure and traditions. It is with the desire to help you discover this resort in a different way that the district is organizing a second international volunteer work camp, after a very successful first edition in 2022.
If you are between 15 and 17 years old, live in the district and would like to participate in this work camp, contact the regional delegate of Concordia in Rhône Alpes (dr.rhone-alpes@concordia.fr). Two places are reserved for local young people in order to encourage exchanges and meetings.

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

The village is accessible by a regular shuttle service (reservation recommended) by regional bus from the SAINT-MICHEL-VALLOIRE train station 17 km away (trains from LYON Part-Dieu, CHAMBERY-CHALLES Les Eaux or MODANE).
If you prefer to drive, VALLOIRE is one of the few resorts to offer two ways of communication in summer: via the Col du Telegraphe (Maurienne Valley) and via the Col du Galibier (Brianconnais).
Train reservations are possible about 4 months before departure on the SNCF website, link below: https://www.sncf-connect.com/
Whenever possible, use low-carbon transportation (train or bus, rather than airplane) for a responsible and sustainable international project.

Remember to take clothing that covers and does not fear dirt for the time on the worksite.
In the mountains, despite the sunshine, the weather is surprising and can change quickly. For leisure activities as well as for the workcamp, it is necessary to bring clothes adapted to the climate (polar or warm sweater, shorts and hiking pants, windbreaker, down jacket, warm socks...). High and notched shoes are imperative. Don't forget sun protection (hat or cap is essential, sunglasses with a high protection factor because of the intense reverberation, sunscreen with a high protection factor IP30-50...) and a bathing suit for swimming or activities in white water or at the pool (swimming shorts are forbidden).
For sleeping, remember to take a warm sleeping bag (10°C comfort) as well as a pillowcase (you can put your things in it and easily make a pillow). You should also consider bringing a backpack (in addition to your luggage), comfortable sneakers and a pair of flip-flops. It will also be useful to bring these essential accessories: a cell phone charger, hiking poles (not mandatory but recommended), a water bottle, a set of bandages, a headlamp or flashlight.
Friendly times will be programmed with our leaders and according to your desires. If you wish to share a bit of your culture (cooking recipes, traditional stories, unusual objects, music...), don't hesitate to take a little piece of your country or region in your backpack and a small Bluetooth speaker!

Remarques

Please note that it is recommended to know how to swim and to ride a bike.

Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for them, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.

Come and help with the renovation of the church of Saint-Maurice-sur-Aveyron, a small village located in the Gatinais, in the heart of nature, about two hours from Paris. Built in the 12th century, and with a portal registered as a historical monument, this church is facing problems of humidity which are damaging its walls.
Your mission (if you accept it) is to pursue the renovation of the walls by using traditional masonry techniques. In the continuity of two workcamps organized in 2021 and 2022, you will contribute to protect a monument of the local heritage and to embellish the nave, which will make the parishioners and curious people passing by very glad !

Logement et nourriture

The accommodation will be located less than 15 minutes from the working area. You will sleep in individual tent on the municipal stadium field, near the locker rooms, where you will have access to sanitary facilities and showers, as well as to a kitchen. You will be able to shelter there in case of bad weather. A marquee tent will also be erected nearby for eating.

Saint-Maurice-Sur-Aveyron is a rural village with a rich and surprising built heritage. In addition to the church, which stands in the heart of the village, the ruins of the Fontainejean abbey and the remains of the dungeon of the castle of "Infernat" speak about its history. The name “Aveyron” comes from the Celtic word "avarona", which means "little river". In the village, the residents will undoubtedly share with you the history of their town and some anecdotes. You will also have the opportunity to visit Guedelon, an atypical site where craftspeople are building a new castle yet using techniques and materials from the Middle Ages!

After several clearing workcamps on the castle, we arrive this year to the historical layers of the ground. For the first year, we will also work around the abbey of St Amand. Managed by an archaeologist, you will work on the revelation of the past centuries. Festivals, night markets, village festivals will be held throughout the summer, and you will work with local volunteers to set them up.
You will work in the mornings: there will be physical work of disbursement (shovels, pickaxes, wheelbarrow), careful excavation (trowels, brushes...) and consolidation work, trail maintenance and itinerary creation, clearing and pruning. You will have the opportunity to discover many aspects of manual work.

Situation, loisirs

Coly St Amand is located in Périgord Noir, 10 km from the Lascaux caves, between Périgueux and Brive.

Leisure activities: By organizing your program of activities with the other volunteers, the other groups, and the animation team, you will discover the hospitality of the population, the charm of the landscapes and local heritage.

Partenaire

On the outskirts of an imposing abbey or in the revenue room of the castle, you will walk in the footsteps of archaeologists from the beginning of the 20th century while being attentive to all the little witnesses of the past that may have escaped them at the time.
Hidden in the hollow of a green valley, the municipality of Coly St Amand is located in the heart of the Périgord Noir, a territory rich in history composed of two former municipalities that have decided to gather. We will contribute to bringing these former separate territories together. The ruins of the abbey castle in Coly, a testimony to the valley's rich past, preserve beautiful architectural elements (bread oven, vaulted room...) and beautiful secrets remain to be revealed. The abbey of St Amand is proof of the power of the church on this territory throughout the Middle Ages.

Travail

This summer's work will focus on the development of a landscape and the maintenance and restoration of a hiking trail.
The mound is located in the centre of the hamlet, a grassy area that is now hindered by masonry structures that are no longer useful. In the aim to reduce the impact of construction on nature, the association wishes to offer more natural spaces to the people it welcomes in the hamlet. You will then participate in the creation of a relaxing space in the middle of the village life for all the people who stay here. The structures are being demolished before the summer in order to be able to offer a work site for both landscaping and furniture.

Around the hamlet, a hiking trail had been opened up around the mountains overlooking the village. Working on this trail will allow you to discover the natural areas of the Hautes-Alpes, its fauna and flora by rehabilitating the trail (clearing, signposting, etc.) and providing educational support (information panels) along the way. You will thus be able to allow everyone to enjoy this hike again. A specialized technical supervisor will be at your side to provide you with advice and techniques. You will work approximately 30 hours per week in the morning.

Logement et nourriture

Accommodation will be in individual tents, which we provide, as well as mattresses, on the camping areas of the hamlet of Vaunières, with access to showers, toilets, and the kitchen. There is no WIFI but you will meet people from all over the world ! You will take turns to cook, so that we can taste several specialties ! Here, we are careful about what we eat. In order to reduce our environmental impact, we try to eat a maximum of local products and we eat meat twice a week. The daily life is organized together: organization of the menus (vegetarian, vegan and other specific diets are possible), shopping, activities, etc. Bring a mattress, a good comforter (the nights can be cold) and a pillow. To be adapted to your needs.

Situation, loisirs

Le Hameau de Vaunières, 6km from the village St Julien en Beauchêne, is 23km away from the city of Veynes. Once or twice a week, we organize with our vehicles some grocery shopping outings.

Leisure activities: We will be in an exceptional location to discover the joys of hiking among the mountains, its rivers, its lakes, the farmers markets, and festive events organized in the surrounding villages (depending on programming). As a group, we will decide the activities and outings that we want to set up (subject to distance). Once a week, the welcome center generally organises a musical evening with homemade wood fired pizzas.

Partenaire

This year, we want to do some landscaping in Vaunières, a hamlet like no other!
In the heart of the Hautes Alpes, the association Les Villages des Jeunes has been managing, animating, and renovating the Vaunières welcome center since 1964! It is an old mountain hamlet, which has become a steppingstone place for local youth and adults, but also a place for French and international volunteers. Vaunières is a vacation spot for families, tourists, and groups, who come to enjoy the calm of the mountains and the dynamics of the place.
The workcamps that we organize at Vaunières with volunteers from all over the world allow us to reinforce the cultural diversity of our action and to make this site a place open to the world, where people of all ages and all social and cultural backgrounds agree to meet by working together and sharing a collective life.

You will also participate in the maintenance of the vegetable garden, the woodwork (maintenance of the fences, construction of pallet furniture) and the green spaces of the castle (clearing the brush). There are no special skills required for the work, it's just an opportunity to learn some.

Beyond this work, you will reflect together on sustainable development using traditional techniques in the restoration of the fortress, but also in the daily life of the group. You will be accompanied and guided by technical and group life facilitators. You will have the opportunity to present to the local population and tourists the progress you have made.
Protecting a building like this takes time and a lot of energy, so come and make your contribution!

est une imposante forteresse médiévale, classée au titre des Monuments Historiques. Elle est située sur une colline qui domine la campagne. Depuis les années 80, des bénévoles participent chaque année à la sauvegarde, la rénovation et à l'animation touristique du château.
Ces dernières années, la forteresse s'est refait une beauté ! Les bénévoles ont continué à faire des travaux de maçonnerie dans la salle des seigneurs l'an dernier et ont développé la partie autour du potager au pied de la tour. A vous de prendre le flambeau !

EN :EXTRA FEES: reduced to 250€ for international volunteers. Pay attention! Our national participants in France pay the regular 360€ of extra fees. International volunteers coming from our partners in other countries than France pay only 250€ of extra fees.

Globally on our teenage camps, we chose to book half of the spots for French volunteers. The aim is to allow a maximum of young people to access intercultural learning, to promote volunteer's commitment as a first step and then experience international workcamp abroad.

FR : Les frais de participation pour les participant·e·s français·e·s sont de 360 euros. Pour des raisons techniques, le site internet ne permet d’afficher que les frais payés par les candidat·e·s français·e·s (360€). Les participant·e·s internationaux·ales payent 250€, hors frais dus à leur structure d'envoi. Pour plus de renseignements, ne pas hésiter à nous contacter.

Sur l'ensemble de nos chantiers adolescents, nous avons fait le choix de réserver la moitié des places pour des bénévoles français·es. L'objectif : permettre à un maximum de jeunes d'avoir accès à l'apprentissage de l'interculturalité, de favoriser l'engagement bénévole et suite à cette expérience, de développer la mobilité à l'international.

Remarques

EN : Be aware that there is no Wi-Fi access and a very poor telephone network. However, the volunteers will be able to find public Wi-Fi in the village. Who needs internet during a Workcamp anyway? The site is unfortunately not accessible to people in wheelchairs.

FR : Le lieu du chantier ne dispose pas de Wifi et le réseau téléphonique y est faible. Les bénévoles peuvent cependant accéder à une connexion Wifi publique dans le village. Le site du chantier n'est malheureusement pas accessible en fauteuil roulant.

Come and take good care of the local natural heritage of a dynamic and committed small town!

Montataire is a small town committed to the preservation of its heritage, whether it be the industrial built heritage or its numerous green and sensitive areas. The city is crossed by a river called Therain, along which you can enjoy hiking trails.

For this second workcamp, the group will take part in the preservation of the environment by the construction and installation of bird nesting boxes and insect hotels, but also by the cleaning and the restoration of various natural sites. You will also have the opportunity to meet and work with some of the local young people.

Logement et nourriture

You will be accommodated in individual tents on the municipal soccer stadium. A big marquee tent for collective life and a kitchen tent will be set up. For the sanitary and shower facilities, you will use the changing rooms of the soccer stadium with a separation between girls and boys. The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together, and you will participate as well in the grocery shopping and in the preparation of meals, prioritising products from the market and local producers.

Situation, loisirs

Montataire (13 000 inhabitants) is located in the department of Oise, 45km from Paris. Due to its particular geographical situation, the city earned the name of "Mons ad theram", which means the mountain near the Therain and which became Montataire. The region has a rich historical heritage that you can discover nearby: The Chantilly Castle, the Compiegne Palace, the Pierrefonds Castle...
More information on the city's website: http://www.mairie-montataire.fr/

Partenaire

The city of Montataire wishes to keep its international openness movement that has started last year with a first Concordia workcamp. Indeed, Montataire is a dynamic city counting around 100 local non-profit organisations and two twin cities: one in Germany called Finsterwalde and the second being the Palestinian refugee camp of Dheisheh.
You will be able to meet the inhabitants who are waiting for you to take part in the July 14th (national holiday) festivities and concert.

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

We will meet up at CREIL train station on 12th of July in the end of the afternoon. The exact time of the meeting will be communicated with the infosheet, sent at the latest 4 weeks before the beginning of the work.
If possible, please consider using low-carbon transportation (train and bus rather than aeroplane) for a sustainable international workcamp.
From PARIS, regular trains are leaving from Gare du Nord train station towards CREIL. The ride lasts for about 30 minutes.
The trains are open to booking about 4 months before the departure dates, available 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.

Remember to bring work clothes for the work site as well as closed shoes. As the accommodation is under tents, remember to bring your sleeping bag as well as a sleeping mat or a camping mattress for more comfort.

Don't forget your bathing suit in case you have the opportunity to go swimming! You can also take with you specialties from your country, photos, musical instruments, in short what you like and want to share during this workcamp, either with the local population or with the group.

Remarques

Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.

Come discover and take care of a pedagogical garden in the heart of a village with an out-of-the-ordinary heritage!

After the success of the previous workcamps, the work continues in the commune of Saint Maximin. In the heart of the village, there is an open stone quarry which today houses an educational garden, called the "Jardin de la Tranchee", that exists mainly thanks to the work that previous groups of volunteers have done during several previous workcamps.

In order to continue the work that has been done for the past years, the work will consist in cleaning and taking off the remaining weeds, grasses and tree shoots from the rest of the stone quarry. We will also set up arrangements to welcome walkers and inhabitants (marking of paths, benches, …).
A nature coordinator working for the city will accompany the group in the different works.

Logement et nourriture

You will be accommodated in the garden of the "Maison pour Tous Nelson-Mandela", a bourgeois house from the end of the 19th century, which hosts the municipal music workshops, exhibitions and cultural and leisure associations.

The group will have access to the kitchen of this house. You will sleep under individual tents. Big marquee 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 tasks and prepare meals together, prioritising products from the market and local producers.

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 Palace or the Pierrefonds Castle. Each year, in addition to outings, leisure activities are scheduled (Saint Leu d'Esserent water sports center, swimming pool...).
Activities are planned with the youth service of the town to associate you with the activities planned during the summer like the festivities of July 14th (national holiday) and meetings with the local population.

Partenaire

The small town of Saint Maximin, nestled in the heart of the stone quarries of the South of the Oise department, 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 operation in Saint-Maximin. The stone extracted there is mainly used for the restoration of historical monuments (e.g. 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!

Come and participate in a painting project in a school and bring your artistic inspiration to beautify the classrooms!
The town of Saint Clair de la Tour has two schools. The nursery school is brand new and already functional. The elementary school which welcomes children from 6 to 10 years old needs a refreshment of the paintings in the various classes. With the help of a technical supervisor, you will repaint the colored walls of the classrooms, taking care to protect the educational material.
You do not need any special skills for this job. Your motivation and your ability to work in a group will be sufficient to complete the project.

Logement et nourriture

You will be housed in individual tents on a green space in front of the school. Within the school grounds, you will have access to showers and toilets. You will also have access to a kitchen for the preparation of meals that you can eat inside or outside. You will organize your leisure activities and community life together (cleaning, activities...) and prepare meals together. The products will be bought nearby. We wish to encourage vegetarian food with local and seasonal products while respecting the diets of the participants and to discover together the local cuisines.
The school has a Wifi network which will be open to connection. On request, the town can provide a washing machine for occasional washing.

Situation, loisirs

The town of Saint Clair de la Tour (3,500 inhabitants) is located in the north of the Isere department, in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region. It has many small shops and benefits from a direct proximity to the city of La Tour-du-Pin (less than 5 km away), which allows a connection, from the train station, with Lyon and Grenoble.
On the spot, you will be able to take advantage of a nautical center, of the proximity of the lakes of Aiguebelette and Paladru. The Dauphine, a green and hilly region, is an ideal place for hiking and cycling. It is also known for its gastronomy.

Partenaire

In 2021, Saint Clair de la Tour hosted its first international volunteer work camp for the restoration of its church. The good mood of the group, the quality of the work done and the conviviality of the exchanges led the town to continue this experience. The municipality wishes to open its territory to the world and share its cultural wealth. The meeting with the local population is also important and there is no doubt that you will have the visit and support of the inhabitants who will come to meet you.

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

You will meet around 5:30 pm on July 12th at the train station of La TOUR-DU-PIN. A proposed itinerary will be presented to you on a detailed roadmap.
The train station is accessible by TER from LYON (Part-Dieu or Perrache), GRENOBLE and CHAMBERY-CHALLES LES EAUX.
Train reservations can be made about 4 months before departure on the SNCF website, link below:
https://www.sncf-connect.com
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.
Whenever possible, use low-carbon transportation (train or bus, rather than airplane) for a responsible and sustainable international work site.
