L'EAU ET LES RÊVES
Read moreOpened in 2018 L'eau et les rêves is a café-library located on a 1950s barge. Transformed into a bookstore in 1980, it sailed from adventure to adventure until it was taken over by Cyrille Bruneau, who made it a place of knowledge and exchange around nature, plants and gardens. The books offered cover a wide range of fields: landscaping, horticulture, seeds, botanical drawing... Those interested in natural well-being will find many references on sylvotherapy, ancestral recipes such as those of Hildegarde de Bingen... This atypical place also offers events: workshops (plant painting, terrariums), presentations, conferences... We love it!
