Market of Curiosities
Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6.30pm

The Marché des Curiosités brings together craftspeople, mainly from the Pays de la Loire and Brittany. Around thirty of them will be showcasing their work and their unique and original creations. The craftsman transforms the material, thinks up the object, draws it, shapes it, refines it... it's unique or in small series, with artistic research, know-how and mastery of the gesture. The craftspeople present will talk to you with passion about their craft and the materials they use. And don't forget to pop into the shop to discover other craftspeople and this year's summer exhibition on the theme of metal.
The Marché des Curiosités is complemented by a potters' market.
Saturday and Sunday 10am-6.30pm

Tickets available on site (impasse de Jouvence, alley leading to the theatre)
Families, from age 4
Back-up venue: Jublains multi-purpose hall, rue de la Libération
In an eccentric restaurant setting, three waiters take ideas from children (or older children) and turn them into stories: dishes concocted using ingredients from the audience! Anything goes: dinosaurs, trumpets, mountains, cosmonauts, clouds, laughter, anger... The mischievous waiters take all the orders to create a unique and explosive menu that's sure to spice things up! They cook up the words, whip up the ideas, and have lots of fun with the customers.
A musician and chief improviser will be on hand to accompany the live improvisation, with his funny sounding kitchen utensils. Bon appétit!

"The morning and evening colours make for great views of the Coëvrons, which is a real pleasure. The region has a rich heritage and natural environment, which gives me plenty of time to take new shots.
