Descripción:
The island of Aix is a small island in the Atlantic ocean that has already hosted several international workcamps. Marked by a lively maritime tradition, the island is dotted with several historically charged sites, notably Fort Liédot (listed as a historical monument of France). The community organizes numerous activities all year long in order to keep this island lively and exciting. The fort includes three battlement walkways. Thanks to prior action one of these walkways can be safely visited by locals and tourists.
This year, volunteers will take up the construction of a new battlement walkway. The work consists of dissembling a supporting wall in order to repair the stones and then rebuild the wall. The technical overseer will instruct volunteers in traditional techniques of masonry identical to those used during the original construction of Fort Liédot.
