Events - 4 Jul 24

“Sea, Sun and Fun” is a 3-day English-learning workshop for collégiens. Participants learn English in a fun, interactive way with games, songs and activities with lots of talking and moving around! The workshop will be at the library for three consecutive afternoons of three hours each, from 2 to 5 pm.

To sign up, please contact the front desk by phone (02 41 24 97 07) or email (info@ellia.org). The number of participants is limited so sign-up fast! Cost is 75 euros (includes snack, materials and a one-time library membership when you register for the first time).

On Thursday, July 4, the Garden Club will visit the Parc & Jardin du Chateau d’Epiré, rue de l’Ancienne Eglise, in Savennieres (https://www.chateau-epire.com/en/). This garden, potager, and vineyard has existed non-stop since 1882. The owner will provide a visit of the family estate, and the Epiré church, which is right next to the park.  He can also give us access to the Savennieres church, which has rare paintings, if there is enough interest.  Feel free to bring snacks to have under a tree after the visit. The visit costs 7€. You can find more information on their site: https://www.chateau-epire.com/en/

If you would like to join for lunch, a noon reservation has been made at A Table Chez Mili, 1 rue Thierry Sandre in Savennieres.  This restaurant offers a menu for 16€ that includes entrée, plat, dessert, and coffee.  There is only one choice on the menu each day; however, if you are vegetarian or otherwise have a special diet, please let me know in advance.

Please send an email to GardenClubELLIA@yahoo.com no later than June 20th if you are interested, indicating whether you will come to just the visit or come for both the visit and the lunch.  Also, indicate whether or not you are interested in visiting the church with the rare paintings.
