The retreat takes place at our gite ‘La Maison du Passeur’ on the banks of the river Vienne in the beautiful village of Availles Limouzine.

The village is perfectly located at the border of the departments of Vienne, Charente and Haute-Vienne and about one hour from the historic cities of Poitiers, Limoges and Angouleme.

For anyone who loves to crochet or who wants to learn, regardless of skill level or experience.

Beginners are welcome and we will help you get going with your first project.

If you want to bring a friend who doesn’t want to crochet, they can spend their time walking, exploring or just relaxing in the garden. They are welcome to join in all the other meals and excursions.

One full day, two half days and optional extra time dedicated to crochet in La Maison du Passeur.
