Floral art workshops for seniors in Étampes, combining the Blue Week and Pink October initiatives.

In Étampes, two floral art workshops were organized on Tuesday, October 6, bringing together seniors and retirees in a spirit of conviviality and solidarity, linked to Blue Week and Pink October.

On Tuesday, October 6, seniors in Étampes participated in floral art workshops held at Le Temps des Loisirs and the Clairefontaine senior residence. These events, focused on sharing and creativity, allowed for the creation of beautiful dried flower bouquets.
At Le Temps des Loisirs, Brigitte Rivière-Nedellec, a passionate florist who recently retired, guided the participants. She returned to her profession for the workshop, continuing the family business's legacy which has existed for 130 years.
At Clairefontaine, the atmosphere was equally warm with Véronique Blot, another retired professional, who assisted residents in creating their floral arrangements.
In support of the fight against breast cancer, the symbol of Pink October, all participants chose to wear a touch of pink.
Mayor Gilles Bayart, accompanied by Paola Lendormy, municipal councilor for seniors and intergenerational links, visited both locations. They spoke with participants, admired their creations, and congratulated them.
