 This idea of a Grandmother’s Day party was initiated by the Town Hall and this initial celebration took place on Sunday 6th March 2016, bringing together some 200 people in the reception hall for a Tea & Dance party.
All grandmothers from Mallemort or elsewhere were invited. Our senior citizens really enjoyed the dance with live music by the Trio Valentin making the afternoon a huge success. It was also an opportunity for our fellow citizens to get together for a chat over tea and cakes.

BLUE WEEK
Every year, the Town Hall organised the national senior citizens week which turned out to be a great success. With a growing number of  participants, this week offered to our senior citizens the chance to get together around a number of different activities: film screenings;  storytelling at the multimedia library; also memory, computer or arts & crafts workshops, an enjoyable and very appealing programme devised by Emmanuelle Azard and other helpers.
Don't miss the next session in October!
TASTING WEEKÂ
During the Tasting week, some regions of France were showcased with great success: Brittany; the North, Auvergne, South-West and Alsace. Older citizens were able to revive the taste and olfactory memories of their childhood.
This initiative aroused keen interest in our older fellow citizens. In fact, the number of guests was much higher than in a normal week, even reaching the centre’s maximum capacity of 100 covers on Thursday lunch time.
And to ensure the diversity of the chosen theme stood out special attention was paid to the dining hall decorations. Thanks to the hard work of the Mallemort Tourist Office and members of Le Foyer itself, regional posters and personal objects from the same theme were used to decorate the hall walls and tables. A special moment of shared experience just waiting to be repeated!
