You'll be helping to refurbish the village's old sports field. You'll be helping to design a friendly, intergenerational leisure area, bringing freshness by planting the site, enhancing the setting : river Tarn, views of the Mont Lozère massif, peace and quiet, and finally making the place welcoming, safe and clean. Several activities are planned for this project. The details of your project will be decided before your arrival, thanks to a final consultation with the local residents. 25h/week.
The workcamp will take place in the commune of Pont-de-Montvert, near Mont-Lozère in the heart of the Cévennes. The aim of the project is to help build a new town square. This square has historically been home to sports facilities, in particular the former tennis courts in the village. However, since the closure of the tennis courts, this space has been more or less left to its own devices, serving as a parking lot and occasional storage area. Since 2018, the commune has planted trees, hedges and installed a playground for the village's children. Your mission : to continue beautifying and transforming this square so that it becomes a place for village gatherings and activities.
The project will take place in the rural commune of Pont-de-Montvert (department 48). The nearest town is Mende, with 16,000 inhabitants. Leisure : Far from the French metropolises, Lozère is nonetheless a very dynamic region. The region's activities revolve around local festivities, concerts and unspoilt natural areas (mountains, rivers, forests).
The workcamp will take place in a particularly isolated area, where you will be accommodated in the village gîte or campsite. You'll have access to sanitary facilities and a communal kitchen. If weather conditions deteriorate too much for camping, you'll have access to a shelter. Meals will be provided by the association and prepared in turn by the participants.
You should arrive at Génolhac train station (30450) on Monday 1st July between 4 and 6 p.m.

Your mission on the international volunteer workcamp: to take care of these two local heritage features. Accompanied by a professional in traditional masonry, you and your team will help the oven to get back to its former glory: cleaning the inside of the building, rebuilding pretty stone benches and re-pointing the walls. You'll soon get the hang of it! As for the spring, you'll be needed for a complete clean-up: emptying the bottom of the basin, cleaning the stones in the washhouse, disbursing and covering with pebbles the small square in front of the washhouse to make it pleasant and accessible to all. In addition to this work, you'll reflect together on sustainable development through the use of traditional techniques in the restoration of the oven and the basin, but also in the daily life of the group. You'll have the opportunity to present the progress you've made to the local population and tourists. It's a chance to meet young people your own age from all over the world, and to take part in a meaningful project! Ta mission sur le chantier international de bénévoles : prendre soin de ces deux éléments du patrimoine local. Accompagné.e par un professionnel de la maçonnerie traditionnelle, il faudra avec ton équipe aider le four à se refaire une beauté : nettoyer l'intérieur du bâtiment, reconstruire de jolis bancs en pierre, refaire les joints des murs. Le coup de main se prend très vite, tu verras ! La source aura quant à elle besoin de toi pour un nettoyage complet : vider le fond du bassin, nettoyer les pierres du lavoir, décaisser et couvrir de galets la placette devant le lavoir pour la rendre agréable et praticable pour tous. 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 auras l’occasion de présenter à la population locale et aux touristes les avancées auxquelles tu auras participé. C'est l'occasion de rencontrer des jeunes de ton âge venus du monde entier et de participer à un projet qui a du sens !
The small village of Fontanges lies at the heart of the Auvergne Volcanoes Natural Park. In this unspoilt valley, hikers come to explore the trails around Puy Mary, Europe's largest volcano, and to take part in the many events that the village offers in summer: local producers' markets, village balls, concerts, traditional dance demonstrations, bread festival.... The hamlet of Chastrade lies on the plateau above the village; along one of its streets, a traditional bread oven tells the story of a long tradition of festivities, evening gatherings and storytelling by the fireside, and good bread baked over a wood fire for locals and passing walkers. A little further on, the hamlet's spring provides water for hikers and refreshment for cattle. Le petit village de Fontanges se situe au cœur du parc naturel des volcans d'Auvergne.

This year, Concordia is teaming up with France Bénévolat and l'Arche de la Nature to create an international work camp in Le Mans. Located ten minutes from the town centre of Le Mans, the Arche de la Nature estate offers to visitors a vast natural area showcasing the main landscapes of the Sarthe region. Along the paths, visitors can admire the river, the forest and the grove, and can visit the “Maison de l'Eau”, the “Maison de la Forêt” and the “Maison de la Prairie”. Sports fields and children's playgrounds will satisfy young and old alike. In all, 500 hectares of nature are permanently open to the public, including La Mare aux Poissons Rouges. La Mare aux Poissons Rouges is an artificial pond that hosted a religious procession from the early 20th century until the Second World War. The procession group came from the church in Yvré-l'Évêque and passed through the Château de l'Arche estate. Today, the pond has been cleaned up and is the home to a number of protected amphibians, including the marbled newt. The aim of this project is to protect the pond by building a dry-stone wall. You'll be accompanied by a team of expert guides throughout the project to help you learn these techniques step by step!
We already carried out a work camp with France Bénévolat about ten years ago. As for Arche de la Nature, we've been working with them for years on various civic services and event organisation projects. Today, we're expanding our partnership by organising a workcamp in their nature areas. The Arche de la Nature estate, managed by the Le Mans Métropole urban community, offers visitors a vast natural area of almost 500 hectares. Every year, more than 500,000 visitors enjoy this park, which is permanently open to the public free of charge. L'Arche is the green lung of the Le Mans urban area. Various events (festivals, courses and outings) have been organised since 1997.
Le Mans is located in the West of France. It is the administrative centre of the Sarthe County, in the Pays de La Loire region (50 min from Paris, and 1h30 from Nantes by train). You will have time to discover the city. Le Mans is a beautiful artistic and historical city, it is the third one of the Pays de la Loire region when it comes to culture and tourism. The old city centre is surrounded by Roman walls and the most recent renovation works organised to preserve the oldest parts of Le Mans have helped to enhance its local heritage. Two rivers cross the city which has been named one of France's greenest cities. You can find various parks and gardens, in addition to the two big forests bordering the city. For more information about the city: www.lemans.fr
You'll be staying at the Yvré Leveques municipal campsite, just a few kilometres from the site and Le Mans, in individual tents (bring your own sleeping bag or warm duvet, and a mat or mattress). The kitchen and living area, as well as showers and toilets, will be close by. You'll be able to take advantage of the campsite's various facilities, including the swimming pool (remember to bring your bathing suit!). Travel between the living area and the work site will be by bike (distance of around 5 kilometres, between 15 and 20 minutes), so you'll need to know how to ride a bike. Volunteers can share their internet connection (no WIFI) and laundry will be done by hand. You'll share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the animation team, and you'll help with shopping and meal preparation. You can exchange recipes if you wish.
Please bring gardening gloves, good shoes for working purposes as well as work clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. As the nights can be quite cold, remember to also bring warm clothes. Don’t forget to bring a camping mat, a sleeping bag for cold weather (comfort temperature 5 degrees): nights can be really cold in Normandy. Don’t hesitate to bring traditional things from your country/region, photos, games, music instruments, etc. Please note that bicycles are used on a daily basis. 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 happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it personally, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
The meeting point is at the end of the afternoon on the 12th of July at Le Mans train station: North exit, on the ground floor at the car park. On the last day (17/07), the departure time is usually set in the morning. From Paris, you can take the train from Gare Montparnasse; regular departures are scheduled throughout the day. 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 exact meeting time will be given with the infosheet which will be sent at the latest 4 weeks before the start of the workcamp.
