Let's return to the warm and friendly atmosphere of the brand new edition of “Printemps Mar i Munt”. By popular demand, this year, the programming was spread over the four weeks of the school holidays, thus attracting an enthusiastic and loyal audience!

Working for months to organize the event, our team's efforts were largely rewarded! No less than 400 people participated in the life of the territory thanks to a vast program: activities linked to nature, the discovery of natural spaces, outings with our partners and of course family activities, including some new things this year…

Evening under the stars

What a magical evening at Sol Payré vineyard in Elne during the exclusive event under the stars! We had the incredible chance to participate, and what an unforgettable experience for our families! The workshop was quickly full, as it generated so much enthusiasm...
Located far from any light pollution, this haven of preserved nature offered us a breathtaking spectacle.

Imagine: under a starry sky, we all gathered together for an unforgettable evening, plunging into the infinity above our heads. Thierry de Capétoiles, with his infectious passion, guided us through the mysteries of the night sky, introducing us to the constellations and showing us the planets through his telescope. In this peaceful atmosphere of the vineyard, everyone was able to reconnect with nature and marvel at the beauty of the cosmos.
This evening not only enriched our knowledge of the sky but also created precious memories!

Selfie Challenge

After the adventures in Montesquieu and Port-Vendres, it is in the historic heart of Elne that we took the selfie challenge. For an hour to an hour and a half, we strolled through the picturesque streets under the gentle spring sun.

Each family, guided by excitement and the desire to capture the perfect moment, walked the streets with enthusiasm, immortalizing each stage of this treasure hunt.

However, this challenge was more than just a game; he made connections, created unforgettable memories and highlighted the hidden treasures of this beautiful village. Together, we (re)discovered its impressive heritage with new eyes, while having fun!

In conclusion, families were able to appreciate a variety of captivating workshops, ranging from visits to a glassblower's workshop to honey and cocoa tastings. The adults discovered the profession of stone engraver, participated in guided tours and explored the maritime environment with a visit to the schooner Miguel Caldentey. A heritage workshop also offered an enriching reflection. This year, an exclusive wine and chocolate workshop at a vineyard has been added, offering a unique sensory experience.

I would like to warmly thank all the service providers and volunteers who, every year, participate enthusiastically alongside us. For the fall “Mar i Munt Week”, I’m already looking forward to seeing you from October 19 to 27, 2024!
