Project: Following several work camps organised by the association Vir'Volt in La Fert-Alais between 2003 and 2006 and in 2013, the town council has once again asked the association to develop an international work camp for the benefit of its community. The work camp relates to the council's wish to turn Saint Pierre's church, which was first built in the 11th century but has been abandoned for more than a hundred years, into a cultural space open to all of its inhabitants. Tasks: Due to its age and architectural interest, Saint Pierre's church is protected by law and any renovation work must be carried out using historically-accurate techniques. Last year's work camp cleared a plot of land behind the church, which used to be a garden. Under the guidance of an expert architect, this year volunteers will use traditional techniques to rebuild two low stone walls in order to mark the entrance to the garden. Leisure activities: Volunteers will have the opportunity to meet the local population and to explore their surroundings. Nearby there is a regional natural park called Gtinais, an educational farm and an aerodrome. You will also be able to take advantage of events taking place in the local community such as concerts or canoeing. Volunteers will be able to organise their own collective activities depending on their wishes and the available budget. Accommodation: You will sleep in tents on the town campsite. Participants are required to bring along a sleeping bag. Location: The town of La Fert-Alais is located 50 km South of Paris, in the Essonne region. Closest train station: La Fert-Alais Observations: This project should not be seen as a sightseeing trip to Paris. If participants wish to visit Paris, they should arrive some days before or leave some days after the dates of the summer camp.
