Come and experience a total disconnection in a small village in Normandy!
The municipality wishes, by hosting this workcamp, to energize the town, to set up a European and intercultural project for the inhabitants and to enhance the local heritage.
Chicheboville has a church, which has been closed to the public for many years due to the deterioration of the building. This year your mission will be to restore the north facade of the village church: staking of the mortar, repointing with lime mortar (masonry technique for old buildings). You will be accompanied by competent animators throughout the project to help you step by step in the learning of these techniques!

You will sleep in individual tents (bring your own warm sleeping bag and comforter), and will be directly connected with nature.
