«Les Méris» educational team wants the residents to invest in their park, where they can reconnect with nature. Your aim will be to transform this area into a welcoming garden. In order to do this, many little jobs will await you: development of the permaculture, creation of the garden of medical plants, planting herbal tea, construction of a compost, construction of a hut to accommodate a wood workshop, creation of containers and planter boxes, etc. Being accompanied by a technical leader, you will gain more experience in using tools and you will discover some new ecological practices while performing these tasks.
You will be accommodated in two-person tents and a collective tent or a room for socializing. 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 preparation of dishes with good products from the market and local producers. During the week, you will have lunch with the residents in the canteen at “Les Méris” residence. You will get around on foot or by minibus between the campsite, the worksite and Aubusson's town center.
Aubusson is located in the Creuse department, which is one of the wildest French departments in terms of nature and it is located in the "Millevaches" regional natural reserve. Here you will find natural protected areas and many hiking paths, lakes and outdoor activities, all just a stone's throw away from the town. Since Aubusson is also the international capital of tapestry, you will be able to meet people who make handcrafted tapestries and discover the history of this traditional artisanry. Aubusson is a lively town and during the summer you will enjoy discovering its historic center and ancient alleyways, relaxing on the shady terraces of the town’s bars and going to concerts and shows organized by the Tourist Office.
