Project: Located at the mouth of the Charente river, the Fouras peninsula is home to 3 ports and 5 beaches on the Atlantic coast. In an idyllic setting with a view of Fort Boyard, the workcamp will be focused on the renovation of Fort Vauban, also known as Fort Sémaphore, that is actually the fortified medieval castle of Fouras. It protected the city from potential invasion of enemies should they choose to disembark by boat from the sea. The fort is surrounded by 17th century fortifications: platforms, curtains, and a massive tower. This workcamp is in line with the partnership established between Solidarités Jeunesses and the municipality of Fouras (for the past 5 years), and its desire to continue local developmental actions (including the renovation of le Fort de l'Aiguille) through the intercultural dynamic offered by workcamps of young volunteers.
With this project, you will be actively working for the Sustainable Development Goal n°11 from the United Nations: Sustainable cities and communities.

Work: You will work on the restoration of a portion of Fort Vauban, namely the northern facade. Accompanied by a technical supervisor, you will begin by having to remove vegetation from the facade, followed by disassembling the facade and re-grouting it with lime mortar. Other traditional masonry work and resizing of stones is anticipated, which will familiarize you with those techniques.

Leisure activities: You can take advantage of everything living by the ocean has to offer! Fishing, sailing with local clubs, biking along the water, and of course relaxing on the beach are just some of the things you can spend your free time enjoying. You can also visit nearby forts and museums as well as cities like La Rochelle and Rochefort, and your free time is a perfect opportunity to meet the locals!

International summer camps here contribute to the restoration and renovation of the fort, with the aim of opening it to the public (especially for heritage days in September). During the project volunteers may also be interested in learning about the redoubt's history, as well as the Pinson Mound regional development project.
Tasks: This year volunteers will continue to restore the fort's surrounding wall. Initial work will be carried out by local young people in April in order to prepare the area for the summer work camp. As a volunteer in this camp you will work with these local youngsters to clean and reinforce the stones of the upper part of the wall.
