Discover the Ramparts of Péronne and Take Part in Their Restoration!

Nestled in the heart of the Somme region, the town of Péronne boasts a rich historical heritage, a testament to its strategic past. Its ramparts, remnants of an ancient defense system, have stood the test of time but now require dedicated restoration efforts. This project is a unique opportunity to contribute to the preservation of this cultural heritage while learning traditional building techniques.
Your mission will be to restore a section of the ancient walls by undertaking various tasks. You will help rebuild a brick wall to close an opening, using traditional masonry techniques. Additionally, you will work on repointing the stones and bricks to reinforce the structure and ensure its long-term stability. Alongside this, you will also assist in installing a new fence along the ramparts to protect and secure the site.

Guided by heritage professionals, you will gain hands-on experience in restoration techniques while playing an active role in safeguarding this historic landmark. By collaborating with the municipality and local residents, you will help bring new life to the ramparts while enjoying a rewarding collective experience. A unique adventure blending heritage, engagement, and intercultural exchange!

Accommodation will be in individual tents at the municipal stadium, where a large communal tent will be set up as a living space with a dining area. (Don’t forget your sleeping bag!). Showers will be available in the stadium’s locker rooms.

Community life will be at the heart of the experience: you will share daily tasks and prepare meals together. A budget will be allocated to the animation team, and you will take part in grocery shopping and meal preparation, with a focus on vegetarian, healthy and locally sourced products.

Peronne is a town of approximately 7,000 inhabitants located in the Hauts-de-France region, in the eastern part of the Somme, at the heart of the former Picardie region. The town is 1.5 hours from Paris, 1 hour from Amiens, and 30 minutes from Saint-Quentin. Due to its strategic location during World War I, the area is home to many sites of memory and commemoration.

A medieval festival will take place during your workcamp on the first weekend, offering plenty of opportunities for interaction and festivities. You will also participate in the celebrations of the French National Day on July 14th, including a fireworks display. Additionally, a visit to Amiens, the capital of Picardie, is on the agenda!

Founded in the medieval era, the town of Péronne holds a strategic position in the heart of the Somme region. Its history is marked by numerous conflicts, including the Hundred Years’ War and World War I, which have shaped its unique heritage. Among its most iconic sites, the town’s ramparts still stand as a testament to its defensive past. Although partially damaged over the centuries, they remain a powerful symbol of local history and deserve dedicated preservation efforts.

For several years, the municipality of Péronne has been collaborating with Concordia, welcoming volunteer workcamps aimed at safeguarding the ramparts, bringing together local youth and international volunteers. These initiatives not only help protect a valuable historical legacy but also foster connections between generations and cultures while raising awareness of the importance of heritage conservation.
