Our association is a living space that welcomes people from all walks of life every year. In 2023, this space for learning and experimentation inaugurated an associative canteen called “Au bout du monde”. This project will involve continuing work to improve the outside entrance, so that visitors feel welcome and can easily find their way around. You'll be able to learn traditional masonry techniques for around 4 hours each morning. You'll take it in turns to help out with everyday tasks, including cooking, tending the garden and cleaning communal areas.
Accomodation and food
You'll be accommodated in our association's park, where we'll set up large collective tents (8 to 16 places). You'll sleep in a bunk bed. Bring a good comforter and your pillow! You'll have access to the house showers and toilets. There are also dry toilets outside. The site is equipped with a professional kitchen. Accompanied by the animators, your group will take turns preparing meals each day. At Beaumotte, we eat meat twice a week, and wifi access is limited in certain rooms of the house. There's no washing machine, so you'll need to bring your own washing powder and clothes for 15 days!
Location and leisure
Afternoons and weekends will be devoted to leisure activities. You'll work with the activity leaders to organize and propose activities. Some activities are a must: visiting Besançon, team sports, all kinds of fun activities...
Project hosted by
If you're looking for an enriching experience in a dynamic environment, learning to cooperate and discovering new ways of living and thinking, the Centre de Beaumotte, a popular education association, is looking forward to welcoming you. Immersed in the heart of the countryside, you'll have the opportunity to share your daily life with young people from all over the world, from a wide variety of backgrounds. Here, we firmly believe that our differences are a real strength, and we can't wait to show you how this diversity can enrich our lives. Ready to be part of this unique adventure?
Directions to meeting point
We look forward to seeing you at the Center in the late afternoon of Saturday, July 5. A meeting point will be set up at the Besançon TGV station (25870) to facilitate the arrival of people coming by train, between 4pm and 6pm. It will be in the main hall, upstairs, near the piano. You can plan a return ticket between 9am and 12pm on Saturday July 19: we'll drop you off at the same station, in the morning only.
Additional comments
no special requirements! The activity leaders will be there to help your group enjoy a wonderful experience. You'll define the framework together, at the start of the stay. They'll keep translating to make sure everyone understands what's going on.
