At 2.30pm: musical siesta with the duo DALÉ ! ... "a soft musical cuddle that sparkles inside".
Settled on a comfortable deckchair or on the garden lawn, two voices, two hearts in unison on a vibrant, electric guitar take you on an immobile journey. An invitation through their echoes... to connect, to sketch the outline of a memory, an emotion and a smile in the corner. To share together the gentleness and vulnerability so often overlooked. Carla & Hugo wrap you up in songs, some of them little-known, but always lovingly chosen and reworked by themselves. Embark with them on a borderless journey between Latin warmth and pop with a taste of Jazz and Soul... Morpheus' arms are waiting for you!
💡 Bring your blanket, plaid or fleece to ward off the cool breeze.
2.30pm to 4.30pm: entertainment on registration (subject to availability) :

Nest box making workshop with the LPO Drôme-Ardèche
Provide a refuge for birds by taking part in a fun and friendly activity, ideal for young and old alike. An LPO activity leader will guide you in assembling your nesting box and give you the keys to a good installation to welcome a brood. This will also be an opportunity to learn about the needs of these wonderful animals, who delight us with their acrobatics and their songs. Come away with your own creation and the pleasure of taking action and understanding nature!
-
Flower arrangement workshop with Sofia Héraclès - Les Fleurs de l'Alune.
An opportunity to learn how to create a spring table decoration (with the first tulips, anemones, narcissi, ranunculus and flowering branches from her farm based in Saint André Lachamp). After talking about the flowers, their origin and production, and the species on offer, each participant will be guided through the process of creating a biodegradable arrangement, without floral foam, and will be able to take it home with them (container and materials provided).

Treasure hunt in the garden for all ages with Teddy Bertrand - Ardèche Sport Nature & Co
