A membership to give<\/p>

Give a place<\/h1>

Some gifts bring pleasure for a few hours. Others can accompany someone for a lifetime. Les Chevaliers de l\u2019Astr\u00e9e offers a lasting connection with a real natural place.<\/p>

The membership is paid once and is valid for life, with no annual fee or renewal. Taking part in gatherings and activities remains entirely optional.<\/p>

An original gift for a birthday, a birth, a wedding or retirement \u2014 and for anyone who loves nature, landscapes and stories that continue over time.<\/p>

\"Gift<\/figure>

A surprising gift: who would expect a simple bag to contain a connection with an orchard, a meadow or an olive grove \u2014 and an invitation to join Les Chevaliers de l\u2019Astr\u00e9e?<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>

One payment<\/h3>

No annual membership fee.<\/p><\/div>

Valid for life<\/h3>

The connection has no expiry date.<\/p><\/div>

Near or far<\/h3>

Everyone experiences it in their own way.<\/p><\/div>

No ownership<\/h3>

Membership grants no ownership right or exclusive use of the land.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Gift<\/figure><\/div>

Somewhere in the world<\/p>

Most gifts are something. Here, the gift is somewhere.<\/h2>

A path where the grass grows back. A pond where dragonflies return. An old apple tree flowering in spring. Olive and almond trees under a different light.<\/p>

The gift begins on the day it is given, then continues through the seasons. The estate evolves, new stories are added and the connection remains.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Time is on their side<\/p>

The gift can be experienced in person\u2026 or from afar<\/h2>

There is nothing to achieve, no deadline and no requirement to be present. Some people simply follow a place from home. Others may one day include it in a journey.<\/p>

From afar<\/h3>

News and stories from the estate show what changes through the seasons and extend the discovery from home.<\/p><\/div>

On site<\/h3>

A gathering, a harvest, a walk or a simple stop can become the moment when a place followed from afar finally becomes familiar.<\/p><\/div>

A journey to imagine<\/h3>

In a few months or ten years from now, the gift may inspire a stay in the Berry, around La Roche-Posay or in Aragon.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Sometimes, simply knowing that a place continues to live somewhere can bring quiet comfort, day after day.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>

Three estates, three characters<\/p>

Each estate has its own character, light and story.<\/h2>

Water and peaceful landscapes at Les Eaux de Velours. Orchards, hedges and paths at Les Mille L\u00e9gendes. Stone, olive trees, almond trees and Mediterranean light at Les Terres d\u2019Aragon.<\/p>

The gift continues after it is opened<\/p>

A plot to find again. A Fellowship that continues to grow.<\/h2>

The QR code on the card or digital document allows the beneficiary, after accepting the charter of Les Chevaliers de l\u2019Astr\u00e9e, to discover the location of the plot or plots connected with the membership.<\/p>

The beneficiary also receives a personal code. If they wish, it can be used to create a personal space and enter the Fellowship, with estate news, Carnets, gatherings and the Imaginaire de l\u2019Astr\u00e9e. Creating this space is entirely optional.<\/p>

Not creating a personal space does not affect the membership or the connection with the plot or plots.<\/p>

Membership also includes a personal, lifelong right to use the coat of arms of Les Chevaliers de l\u2019Astr\u00e9e, in accordance with the organisation\u2019s charter.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Four memberships, two ways to give<\/p>

The same lifelong connection. A different presentation.<\/h2>

The entry membership at Les Eaux de Velours is digital. The other three memberships are postal. Current prices are shown on the Join page.<\/p>

Les Eaux de Velours \u2014 digital version<\/h3>

Personalised documents, the QR code and personal code are prepared digitally. You can pass them on at the chosen date with no postal delivery.<\/p><\/div>

Three memberships \u2014 postal version<\/h3>

For Les Eaux de Velours, Les Mille L\u00e9gendes or Les Terres d\u2019Aragon, personalised documents are printed and gathered with the welcome letter, card, linen bag and seasonal discovery items.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

The person placing the order chooses and personalises the gift. The membership is established in the beneficiary\u2019s name: they become the member of Les Chevaliers de l\u2019Astr\u00e9e and may choose the honorary title of Dame or Chevalier if they wish.<\/strong><\/p>

In both cases<\/h3>
