Help renovate the old rural train station in the pretty village of Louchy-Montfand!
The commune of Louchy-Montfand continues to renovate its historic monuments with a third youth volunteer project. The aim of this new project is to restore the old "tacot" train station, highlighting the history of this rural train which from 1910 to 1949 crossed the beautiful countryside of the Montagne Bourbonnaise between Vichy and Roanne, transporting passengers, merchandise and livestock.
The project will involve restoring the walls of the shelter with traditional lime plaster, on which photos and panels explaining the history of the rural train will then be placed, as well as rebuilding a wooden bench and table to enable local residents and associations to use the site as a meeting place.
Alongside two camp leaders, including a technical animator, who will guide you throughout the project, you'll discover traditional plastering techniques and woodworking, and learn how to handle tools.
Calling all handicraft enthusiasts and history lovers to participate in this workcamp!
