HAND MASSAGE – Margaret Pearce
The benefits of hand and
arm massage is relaxing with positive touch.
It also aids in the shedding of dead skin cells, helps with stiff joints,
and makes the hands soft and moisturised. [If you have a nut allergy, please
let me know in advance]

moved into the region to continue working with people of the area. In each treatment, Heather takes a holistic
approach – working with mind and spirit, as well as the body. Through treating many clients over long
periods, she has inevitably gained some experience of working with clients with
cancer. In such circumstances, she aims
to work with them in a supportive and practical way, according to their needs.
The medicinal garden

garden, or that can be easily grown, that have a significant impact on your
health and wellbeing. Lisa will look at
many common plants and herbs, and give an understanding of how to prepare and
use such plants, gaining all these extra, and sometimes overlooked, benefits.

Reflexology is a
holistic treatment on the feet which have reflex zones that relate to the human

entertainment from:
The Aude Shanty Men
live mainly in the Aude, with a few renegade interlopers ‘press ganged’ from
the Ariège. We enjoy singing traditional
and modern sea shanties in harmony, to keep alive the tradition of sailors’
working songs, and other songs of the sea.
As well as enjoying ourselves, we raise money for both the RNLI in the
UK, and the SNSM (French Lifeboat Service), with recent donations to the
lifeboat at Gruissan. We have recently
been collecting for the families of the tragedy that took place at Les Sables
on 7th June. On this
occasion, we are more than happy to support the good work of CSF, and wish them
an enjoyable and successful day.
In addition, the ‘Salon du
Thè’ at Les Marguerites will be open from 15h00,
where you can purchase
delicious drinks and cakes
