Campo di volontariato
Bringing the Church Walls Back to Life
Buxerolles, FRANCIA
Attività principali
Following three successful years of restoration, this year’s project focuses on the interior walls of the church. Some sections were previously covered with cement, which trapped moisture and caused saltpeter to appear. Guided by a specialized technical supervisor, you will participate in the traditional masonry process: removing old plaster, dehumidifying the walls, and applying traditional lime plaster. The project also includes repointing and lime jointing. You will work approximately 4 to 5 hours per day. No prior experience is required, but please bring work clothes that can get dirty. All safety equipment will be provided.

Scopri Buxerolles
Location : Buxerolles (86180), part of the Grand Poitiers area, in the Vienne department, 6 km from Poitiers.
Leisure : Buxerolles is ideally situated to explore the heritage of the Vienne region. Outside of work hours, you can take part in local summer events and excursions to Poitiers or Châtellerault. Various activities such as bowling, cinema, and sports are available nearby. The group will also have the opportunity to organize its own leisure activities based on collective interests.
Organizzatore
Located near Poitiers, the commune of Buxerolles is home to the historic church of Saint-Jacques-et-Saint-Philippe. Originally Romanesque, the building stands on the site of an 11th-century chapel. After centuries of history, this heritage site now requires careful rehabilitation. This workcamp aims to revitalize the building while promoting intercultural exchanges between local residents and international volunteers, united around the values of solidarity and community heritage.
