Sports and travel
Travel is seniors’ favorite activity. Still between two suitcases. All clubs offer them. The Sport pour tous association even presents it as a reward after a year of Qi Gong, yoga, or getting back into shape. Members have already gone on a snowshoeing or transhumance weekend in Cantal and next month, they will spend two weeks on a wellness road trip in Portugal. Victor-Hugo’s club will go to the Marais Poitevin after a year spent playing scrabble or domino. The “silver hair” association arrives from Tirol. It’s a change from knitting, painting on silk or wood. The other popular activity: sport. The Angoulême sports department is very successful with sophrology on Monday afternoons or pilates on Monday mornings. And every Wednesday, there are around twenty of them walking 4 or 8 km in Frégeneuil. “It’s very good for the joints”, supports sports educator Sébastien Durst. It’s especially excellent for making friends.
Hobbies
The scooter was a great success yesterday at Place Saint-Martial. An ideal tool for senior activities.

Céline Gachet was very successful and cycled all day with her scooter. Yesterday it was free. The rest of the time, this three-seater bike from La maison de Léa is rented for residents of retirement homes, but also for caregivers who want to take a moment of break around the lake for example… Also possible to borrow it to go shopping or why not go to the festival committee’s tea dance one Wednesday a month in Luesse. A highly anticipated event for dancers. The residents of L’Emeraude will actually go to a nightclub at Marysa on October 6 “and not just for ballroom dancing” , announces Adeline, the host. But not everyone masters the paso doble, so for those who prefer calm to the dance floor, the Basseau La Grande-Garenne media library offers to deliver books and DVDs free of charge to the home of all Angoulême residents.
Painting on silk, a pretext to meet.

Personal services
At the Mosaïque, we make hats and parade with them.

It is a very popular service, but little known. The Mutualité française offers to replace the caregiver for an hour or two at home or to keep the patient in a retirement home for a weekend for €70. Another service, a free health check-up carried out by a nurse who comes to your home and assesses mobility, vision, hearing, home equipment and then sets up memory workshops for example or a consultation with a specialist . Refreshed for new activities.
Card games, one of the Victor-Hugo club’s favorite activities.
