Garden Club visit | 03/04/2025 | 10:30 am-12:30 pm

Garden Club visit

On Thursday morning, April 3, the Garden Club will visit the Parc Oriental in Maulévrier where we look forward to seeing the cherry trees in bloom.  You can find much more information about this park on their website at www.parc-oriental.com.  This guided visit of two hours will take place in English!

Our tour is scheduled for 10:30am, which is when the park opens.  However, they ask that the group arrive 10 minutes in advance and enter by the “Entrée Principale Visiteurs” marked by this red entrance sign ⛩️.

A reservation for lunch, at 12:45pm, has been made at Le Cheval Blanc, 12 rue St Pierre, St Pierre des Echaubrognes.  They offer a menu du jour (entrée, plat de poisson ou viande, + dessert) for 18,50€ or pièce de boucher du moment + dessert for 24.90€.  It is located just two minutes from the Parc Oriental, and when we went there last year, everyone enjoyed it.

If you would like to join us, please send an email to GardenClub@ELLIA.org no later than March 24 to advise if you will come to the garden visit and lunch or just to the garden visit.


Textile Arts & Crafts Workshop | 03/04/2025 | 2:00 pm-4:00 pm

Textile Arts & Crafts Workshop

Si vous aimez explorer différentes formes d’art textile, cette activité est pour vous.

Nous nous appuyons sur différentes techniques (broderie, tissage, patchwork, quiltage, collages, techniques de teinture…) et nous trouvons du plaisir à partager et expérimenter toutes sortes d’approches  et de matériaux.

Quelques-uns de nos projets sont exposés à la Bibliothèque. Cette année nous avons l’intention d’approfondir le côté artistique de nos créations.

Les personnes débutantes sont les bienvenues.
