THE PATH UNDER THE GISQUET GATE
BAZAS, FRANCIA
Attività principali
Help restore a historic cobbled path at the entrance to the town of Bazas, in the middle of the Entre-deux-Mers vineyards!
You'll start this restoration project by clearing the weeds between the stones and then repairing the joints that have been destroyed through time. The section you'll be working on corresponds to one of the historic entrances of the town, which is surrounded by walls. The path goes under a stone gate, the Porte du Gisquet. You will be supervised by a technical guide who will teach you various traditional methods.

Scopri BAZAS
Bazas is a commune in south-west France, in the Gironde department, situated in the middle of a rich vineyard area. You'll have many opportunities to explore the surrounding castles, villages and vineyards. To the north-west, around 1h30 drive away, you'll find the city of Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town of Bazas is the capital of the “Bazadais” region and a former bishopric, it has preserved a wealth of monuments, some of which date back to the Middle Ages and are symbolized by the Saint-Jean-Baptiste cathedral.
During the summer season, the town of Bazas organizes numerous events and village festivals, which you'll have the chance to take part in. With its market, cathedral, cafés, craftsmen and narrow streets, Bazas is a lively village! There are many natural sites in the area, including spots for kayaking and canoeing.
Requisiti
Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues arise on the project, volunteers will have to pay for them, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
Organizzatore
The town of Bazas has a project to restore this footpath that gives way to the town’s center. It is a popular route into the town for local residents, but it is now difficult for people with reduced mobility to use it. It is also part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage trail, used by tourists who come to explore the city and its famous cathedral.
