New Attraction in Laurenan

by in Local Businesses

Usborne books representative in Brittany and NormandyI”ve just met a lady who has literally just opened a fantastic new attraction in Laurenan (just off N164 between Merdrignac and Loudeac).

It”s called Elizabeille and it”s a big craft hall, where people can go to browse and buy some artisan produced goods and other giftware. In addition there are artisan demonstrations, craft classes, free activities for children and a children”s play area. There”s also a tea shop serving drinks and cakes, and a second hand section with various different items for sale too.

Elizabeth Turner who runs it is an artisan herself who produces honey and beeswax gifts.

Eventually there will be up to 70 artisans displaying their wares, but she still has some tables availble if anyone is interested. She charges 12 euros per week and only asks that you attend your stall, or maybe give a demonstration once a month. Apart from that she will sell your items for you.

She is also looking for people to run craft classes and courses. In August there are a number of Farmers Markets running too, where local people are selling local produce. She”s open Wednesday to Sunday 10.30 -18.00.
