You're in for a unique experience aboard the Hermione frigate!
Accompanied by volunteers and professional sailors who work on the restoration of the boat throughout the year, you will discover traditional techniques: repairing the wooden parts that make up the boat's structure, tarring ropes, painting, etc. Alongside the main tasks on the frigate, the sailors on site will teach you about the history of the boat and sailing techniques. You don't need any special skills, just a lot of motivation!

This workcamp is like no other!
You will be accommodated directly on board the boat, in a shared cabin with individual wooden berths. The whole group will be in the same cabin, so you'll be in real sailing conditions. You will also be able to use other areas of the boat for group time and meals. The boat is not on the water; it is currently being refitted.
On land, there are several temporary structures with a kitchen, sanitary facilities, showers and a communal living room.
You will share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the leaders, and you will help with the shopping and meal preparation, giving priority to healthy, local produce.
Together, you'll help organise community life (cleaning, activities, etc.) and take turns preparing meals using locally sourced produce. We want to encourage vegetarian eating with local, seasonal produce, while respecting the diets of the participants and discovering local cuisine together.
You'll be living with a number of other volunteers (most of them French) who are on site throughout the year to restore the boat, including professionals from the sector, sailors and carpenters, who will be able to guide you through the technical tasks to be carried out on the boat and pass on their passion!

The boat is currently located in Anglet, on the Basque coast. So you'll be close to the ocean and its beaches, between the magnificent towns of Bayonne and Biarritz. On the programme: discover the Basque heritage, its culture, its gastronomic specialities and its people. There are plenty of outdoor activities on offer, from beach and surfing to hiking in the Pyrenees... Most of the journey is by public transport, and the boat is located near the Adour, at the entrance to the port of Bayonne. It's close to several shops.

In 1992, a group of maritime history enthusiasts set up the Hermione-Lafayette Association, with the aim of rebuilding a late 18th century frigate in the heart of Rochefort's historic arsenal. A long period of preparatory work then began, with the collection of historical sources, the reconstitution of plans, the search for funding, the launch of a call for tenders to find a builder... The worksite was launched on 4 July 1997. The boat sailed for several years and visited several cities in France and around the world. For several years now, the boat has had to be taken out of the water to be restored, so it was transported to Anglet, where a number of volunteers and professionals are working to repair it so that it can be put back in the water as soon as possible! You are going to be part of this work.
