The village of Avricourt is a historical partner of our office. The small village of barely 200 inhabitants does everything in its power to give the best welcome to the volunteers: communal meals, invitations to eat, donations of jams and other vegetables from the garden are normal in Avricourt. In a nutshell, many exchanges are in prospect, especially since you will organise meetings and animations in the village and at the school with the help of the animation team.
İş Tanımı
Discover the village of Avricourt, a small town typical of Picardie!
Come and participate in the renovation of the small church of Avricourt, one of the few churches in the area that survived the First World War.
In the continuity of the masonry work from the previous workcamps you will participate in the renovation of the main wall. You will carry out traditional masonry work on the large facade of the church: (re)jointing the walls, staking, repointing and even laying new bricks and stones. Part of the work may require climbing on scaffolding up to a certain height.

The village hall will be at your disposal as a place to live, which includes a well-equipped kitchen (community oven, dishwasher, big fridge etc.). Individual tents will be provided as well as a fallback solution in the village hall in case of bad weather. Please note that only one shower and one toilet will be available on site.
The group will be sharing the cleaning chores and preparing meals together. The budget will be allocated to the group leader and you will participate in the grocery shopping and in the preparation of meals, prioritising healthy products from local producers.

Avricourt is located 15 km from Noyon, in the North of Oise. In a central location in Picardie, you can visit Amiens, its cathedral and its “hortillonnages” (floating gardens), Compiegne and its imperial palace, Noyon and its historical centre. You can also hike in the surrounding countryside among cereal fields and small pasture valleys. If you are a nature lover, you could even discover the educational beehive with the school children and the beehives of a small local producer. A concert given by the local band in the church is planned the day before the departure of the volunteers.
