The Baba Yaga association digs into the memory of the old hotel it occupies

Exhibition, concert, music workshops and creative hobbies, Baba Yaga is buzzing, Friday October 18 and Saturday October 19.

For a little over two years, the Baba Yaga association has taken over the former Post Office and Travelers Hotel. Shows, workshops, artist residencies, activities have multiplied. Within the association, a memory group was created to retrace the history of the hotel. The fruit of their work is presented until the end of the month.

Exposition

Old photos, a chronology of owners and managers and a hint of local history illustrate the exhibition dedicated to the Hôtel de la Poste.

The memory group unearthed old notarial deeds, searched through municipal and departmental archives to find the major stages that the building went through.

This exhibition is the first event organized by the group of volunteers who meet once a month at the café. Residents, sometimes even former customers, managers or even descendants of owners participate. Everyone is happy to see their circle growing.
