Playgroup tuesday 8 October with Emma and Helen | Association Culture Langue du Pays de Gex

Emma and Helen brilliantly welcomed a dozen moms (and one dad ,as well!) with their baby/toddlers at Croc’o’deal, the new cofffee shop in Divonne, that also doubles with second hand kids stuff store.
This year, Culture-Langue English speaking playgroup alternates locations every Tuesday between this tearoom and another room at Divonne town hall.
These new venues and day seem to suit the members. When I arrived, the playroom was swarming with crawling toddlers, and buzzing of chats and laughters. Parents were enjoying coffee and croissants served by the friendly owners, on tables displayed around the playing area, covered with mats, books and toys. Emma and Helen were very busy talking to everyone.
I left some of Culture-Langue flyers at the counter, when leaving this happy crowd about to gather in a circle for performing the well practised singing.

Culture Langue is an Association created in 1998 under the 1901 French Law run by enthusiastic volunteers.
All our activities are held in the tows halls of Divonne, Cessy, Gex and Prévessin or at a member's home. The aim of CL is to generate interest among different cultures through different activities such as language, heritage, literature and so on. All activities take place in an interesting and international environment and in lively surroundings thanks to pro-active members. Our members are mums with their children or not from different nationalities & walks of life. In 1998, a dozen Mums and their children from different nationalities started some activities, mainly meeting with the intention of getting to know each other and to do arts and crafts together. Nowadays the association boasts more that 120 members from 15 different nationalities and offer a range of activities with our without children in Cessy, Gex, Divonne and Ornex..
