Entitled “Senior Well-Being”, the operation will take place throughout the afternoon, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. It is co-financed by the town hall, Carcassonne Agglo, the Aude department, the CPTS as well as the French mutual insurance company. However, those wishing to go there will have free access. In total, seven different workshops will be available to those aged 60 and over: theater, self-massage and relaxation, moving to music, making music, painting, photography, adapted yoga as well as the creation of energizing infusions and the use of essential oils. .
