French Treats Knitting Workshops
Our June 2010
knitting workshop was once again a resounding success and marked our 5th

destination in France for knitting workshop holidays. Due to the
ever-increasing popularity of our knitting workshops we are pleased to be
able to offer a further course in 2010 in addition to our 2011 events. Both
courses form part of an inclusive programme providing a complete and
relaxing holiday experience.

is suitable for knitters who can already follow a knitting pattern but want
to realise their own creativity & design their own garments or accessories.
There will be plenty of visual material & examples to inspire you, along
with technical help in realising your design ideas. The activities will be
structured but the workshop atmosphere will be relaxed & creative & you will
be encouraged to continue sampling your knit ideas in the evenings while
socialising.

Contemporary Lace
Adventures in Pattern with Jane
Atkinson
21st – 28th May 2011

We are
delighted to be welcoming Jane back. She says “This week is the springboard
to a lifetime’s pleasure in creative pattern play. Being able to design our
own original lace patterns sets us free – we don’t have to search for the
pattern to suit a project, or adapt our ideas to suit someone else’s pattern
… we can choose precisely what we want from our lace making.”

“Unfortunately the time passed too quickly! I would like to come
again.”
Nelly, Italy – 2009 guest
“An inspiring ,
wonderful holiday in a just amazing environment with caring hosts” Sandra, Munich – 2008
& 2009 guest

July & August, Le Vieux Monastere can be hired out for exclusive use. What
could be more fun than a group of families or friends getting together in a
beautiful and relaxing environment? While your group has the privacy of
their own accommodation, the flexibility of our accommodation and facilities
can enable large groups to eat together, both inside or al fresco. We can
also arrange group excursions, various activities, and catered meals. We can
tailor make your ideal holiday experience, whether for a week or long
weekend to celebrate a special birthday or anniversary or simply to spend
quality time with your favourite people.
Celebration Venue
Looking for
somewhere with a difference to celebrate that special event? Be it a special
anniversary or birthday party, its spectacular setting makes Le Vieux
Monastere an ideal choice of venue. We can arrange for marquee hire,
caterers and entertainment to make your celebration unique and one to
remember by all. Your event can be incorporated into a week or long weekend
booking, allowing you and your guests time to savour the experience.
