Something new for 2023 is our Wednesday club whereby we will have open doors, or portes ouvert in French, inviting the local community of Brossac to come along and meet up and meet our group of volunteers and interns. This will be a good time to get to know the locals and learn of other events taking place within the community. We will be providing morning coffee or afternoon tea to our visitors.

Visitors will also be able to use make use of any of the faciliies at La Giraudiere including internet access, library, printing, photo copies etc.

We also have a large collection of memrobilia, household goods, antiques, painting, etc etc items which will be up for sale. Proceeds acheived from the wednesday club will go towards the continuing restoration work at La Giraudiere, Volunteers and interns can also make suggestions for improving our contact with the local community as your input is vital.
