プログラム名 A PATH THROUGH NATURE
開催期間 2025/07/09(水)～2025/07/30(水)
背景 The small town of Saint-Maximin, nestled at the heart of the stone quarries of the South of Oise, has an uncommon cultural heritage (troglodyte houses, old open-air quarries, mushroom beds, etc.) that it promotes in its museum "La Maison de la Pierre".

Today, there are still five stone quarries in use in Saint-Maximin. The stone extracted from them is mainly used for the restoration of historical monuments (Paris City Hall or the Arc de Triomphe). The quarries of Saint-Maximin also provide the clay used for the tennis courts of Roland-Garros. An initiation to stone cutting is planned during your stay!
仕事内容 Discover a trail where nature and heritage come together ? and help bring it back to life!
After the success of several restoration projects, a new challenge awaits you: renovating a hiking trail along the Oise River, serving as a vital link between two towns. This project is particularly significant, not only for its environmental impact but also for its role in bringing communities together and showcasing the local heritage.

Building on past initiatives, you will take part in several key tasks to restore and improve access to the trail. The work will include pruning trees and shrubs blocking the path, removing invasive plant species to protect local biodiversity, clearing overgrown areas, and improving the trail’s accessibility. Additionally, you will help design and install educational panels to provide hikers with insights into the site’s history and natural treasures.
宿泊 Your accommodation will be located in the garden of the "Maison pour Tous Nelson-Mandela", a bourgeois-style house from the end of the 19th century, which hosts the communal music workshops, exhibitions as well as cultural and leisure associations. The group will have access to the kitchen of this house. You will sleep under individual tents. Large tents will be installed for the collective life. The infrastructures of the municipal stadium (300 metres away) will offer access to showers with a separation between girls and boys. You will share the various collective chores and prepare meals together, prioritising vegetarian meals and local products from the market.
場所 Saint-Maximim. Saint-Maximin (3 000 inhabitants) is located in the department of Oise, 70km from Paris. The region has a rich historical heritage that you can discover nearby: The Chantilly Castle, the Compiegne Imperial Palace or the Pierrefonds Castle. Each year, in addition to outings, leisure activities are scheduled (St Leu d'Esserent water sports centre, swimming pool...).

Activities are planned with the youth service of the town to include you in the activities planned during the summer like the July 14th celebrations and meetings with the local population.
集合場所 The meeting is planned at the CHANTILLY-GOUVIEUX train station on July 09 at the end of the day. The exact time of the meeting will be communicated with the info sheet, sent at least 4 weeks before the beginning of the workcamp. From PARIS, regular trains leave from the Gare du Nord train station for CHANTILLY-GOUVIEUX (30-minute trip). The trains are open to booking about 4 months before the departure dates, accessible on the following website: https://www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/ If you are coming first by plane, remember that you will need some time to commute from the airport to the train station, therefore we recommend that you arrive early enough for you not to rush and have a stress-free travel. Whenever possible, use low-carbon transport solutions to get to the site: trains rather than planes, public transport rather than private cars.. Nearest airport is CDG. Nearest train or bus station is CHANTILLY-GOUVIEUX train station.
追加登録費 追加登録費250 EUR （募集時のレートでは約40,000円）を現地到着時に現金払い。
資格 Age 15-17. 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 it, and will then be reimbursed once back in their home country.

Don’t forget to send us your Medical Factsheet and Parental Authorization at least one month before the beginning of the workcamp.
備考 Remember to bring work clothes for the work site as well as tight shoes. As the accommodation is under tents, remember to bring your sleeping bag as well as a floor mat or a camping mattress for more comfort.

Don't forget your bathing suit in case you are going to swim in the pool or at the St Leu d'Esserent water sports centre. You can also bring back specialities from your country, photos, musical instruments, in short what you like and want to share on this workcamp, either with the local population or with the group!
