Well known for its wines, Montlouis-sur-Loire, expresses daily its own identity, consisting of quality of life, economic development, cultural vitality and solidarity. Montlouis-sur-Loire has expanded thanks to the Loire which was in the past one of the busiest rivers for transport in Europe and to the wine-production activity that emerged in the region in the early Middle Ages. The Children and Youth centre wants to work in partnership with our association in order to enable local young people to meet other youngsters of different nationalities while participating in a collective and constructive project. This town is a supportive host for a youth exchange group, particularly on the theme of "the big European rivers." Various opportunities for exchanges will be organized around this topic which will have been prepared beforehand in each country. The final objective is to create an Internet blog on this topic. The work will include the rehabilitation of a small wall near the bank of the river. It is one of the symbols of small local heritage still present in the town that we really want to be preserved. The work will mainly focus on masonry and the cleaning of the river banks.
