A sunday in the country:
les journées de savoir-faire – expertise days

We invite you to spend a day in the countryside, enjoying the peace and space of the workshops and learning a specific skill in a friendly, studious but relaxed atmosphere.

The day runs from 10am to 5pm, with a one-hour lunch break; the meal (included) will be taken in the shade of the courtyard or near the stove, depending on the season.

At the end of the day, if you wish, you can take advantage of the surrounding countryside for a walk along the Viaur, or have a drink on the terrace, before returning to the town.

Interested in one of these days? Contact us and we’ll arrange a date.
