    Description

    We created an association in our village in Montembœuf which manages a place of exchange, meetings and activities for the inhabitants. We manage a café, a canteen and we organize events: concerts, games evenings etc. Among the activities we organize cultural exchange workshops around cooking, DIY, sewing, knitting, among others… any new workshop idea is welcome! The association's vocation is an eco-citizen and responsible commitment. We live in a village of 700 inhabitants 2 hours from Bordeaux by car and 1 hour by train. The inhabitants are French but also British and Turkish.
