Closest airport: Toulouse or Paris For this workcamp, let’s mix pencil and mason's trough, renovation and illustration! For this first workcamp, we shall intervene on the reconstruction an outer wall at the entrance of the village. Over a week, we shall also participate to the organization of a festival around illustration and around meeting with authors, organized by the “Librairie-Tartinerie”, a bookstore- snack in Sarrant. This year, the festival also hosts a group of young Czechs over a week through a European exchange program. Seen from the sky, Sarrant looks like a snail shell firmly rolled up around its 15th century church. A fortified main entrance controls the access to the alleys of this village enlisted as one of the "most beautiful villages of France". A well-known stopover for merchants traveling between Toulouse and Lectoure in the Roman times, Sarrant bears a major historical legacy. Charm guaranteed! Volunteers will consolidate what remains of the wall because of tree roots push it back and destabilize it. We will rebuild the wall on its weakest parts with traditional masonry techniques. You will be accommodated in tents, around a soccer stadium, with access to cloakrooms, toilets / shower and the kitchen of the clubhouse. You will participate to the preparation of the meals. We shall favor the use of local products. Sarrant is an ancient country-house of 400 inhabitants situated in the northeast of the Gers region. The fortified village is circling around the Saint Vincent church, 10 Km away from the borough of Mauvezin and 40 minutes far from the city of Auch. Gastronomic specialties, itinerant night-market, vegetable farmers nearby, numbers of shows in Larréol, close to the leisure centers of Solomiac and St Cric and so on. Let yourself be tempted by the sweetness of the Gers region! Consider taking work clothes and shoes (waterproof if possible, in case of rain). Bring a warm sleeping bag and a good camping mat (sleeping in tent), nights are sometimes fresh and wet. Don’t forget your nicest swimsuit. Tents will be provided but you can also bring your own. Do not hesitate to bring specialties from home, photos, games, music instruments, etc. Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring their 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, and then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
