The second edition of La Grande Lessive in Rignac was a great success, bringing together children and residents from several local facilities around the theme 'Photo (and) graphy'.

This artistic initiative involved children from the leisure center, in collaboration with residents from the Marie Gouyen life care home, the Les Rosiers EHPAD, and Les Terrasses de Rignac (Senior Residence). Over several Wednesdays, they imagined and created artworks on this year's theme.
Beyond the final result, the experience highlighted the creation of intergenerational bonds around a common project and art. The event was deemed very enriching and promising for future projects.
At the St Joseph school, each class approached the theme specifically according to the age of the students. The creations were displayed on stretched wires, and families were invited to discover them after classes. The installation concluded with a snack.
At the Mayran school, the exhibition was set up in the secondary courtyard, with an explanatory note placed before each participating class. Students from CM1-CM2 at the Anglars-St-Félix school, for their part, photographed the adjacent educational land area and created a graphic sign inspired by their photo. The exhibitions at both schools were open all day.
