What's the purpose of this weekend ?
To meet other Apprentices Magicians, like minded people who followed the workshops and share the same interest, during a relaxed fairy tale weekend in july 2019, around paper and magic in my Kingdom
It is free, supplies and food are included, but it is only open to kind, respectful and Honest Apprentice Magicians who joined a workshop in 2018 or 2019.
What's the program Weekend?
I don't have a precise programm yet we may come back to things you didn't understand well in the workshops, It's going to be really relaxed with no pressure to finish everything at the end of the sunday. But no worries I will keep you busy :)
We will also have a visit at the old book shop on saturday evening after the first day, as last year, some ladies wanted to discover this place.
Who is it for ?
This weekend is opened to kind, respectful and honest Apprentice Magicians enrolled in one or more Workshops in 2018 or 2019 who were sometimes "frustrated" by the limits of internet.
You may ask why kind, honest and respectful ?
Because as you can imagine there is a wide variety of people who joined my workshops these past 3 years a majority of kind and honest apprentice Magicians but also, extremely rude ladies, complainers, imitators with no limits and no moral ….
For this reason our funny friendly paper weekend only works on invitation. So here it is! And it is open to 8 persons maximum.
(I don't offer rooms though you need to book hotels and accomodations in the city )
Schedule?
Saturday 20th: 9h30-18h30 (Fairy tale lunch break included )+ followed by a visit at the old book Shop.
Sunday 21th : 9h30-18h30(Fairy tale lunch break included)
If some Apprentices have to leave earlier to catch a train on sunday evening no problem !

Glimpses of our past Apprentice Magicians weekend in 2018
Plane, Train ?
If you book your plane ticket and TGV ticket in advance you can have very nice deals! Once you know you have the ressources to come don't wait too long to book your plane and TGV ticket .
-Below I have showed you the connections, the time it takes especially with the TGV (very fast train) and TER (local train ) which are 2 different sort of trains
The TER is a local train between Lyon and St etienne we have some trains every 20 minutes it doesn't need any booking or reservations. You can buy your ticket on a machine in the Lyon's rail station like a metro ticket but for the TGV you need to book it in advance the earlier you book the cheaper it is!
From New York:
New York--> Paris Roissy - Charles de Gaulle Airport+ TGV Roissy Charles de gaulle station to ---> Lyon Part Dieu (1h50)+ local train (TER) Lyon Part-Dieu -->St Etienne Chateaucreux (40 min)
or
New York--> Lyon St Exupéry+ Airport train(35min)--->Lyon Part Dieu+ local train (TER) Lyon Part-Dieu -->St Etienne Chateaucreux (40 min)
