G La Brique – FR

G La Brique is a small RLUG in Mayenne, in the west of France. We collaborate with various associations to promote the constructions of Lego bricks with young people, people with disabilities, or even elderly people. The association also takes part in animations in schools, libraries, etc.

Created by Gilles BORDIER in 2011, “G La Brique” is an association gathering collectors and builders of all ages, which became an official RLUG in 2014. The initial objective of G La Brique’s president was to create a museum with its bricks and constructions with Saint Berthevin municipality. Waiting to access to this dream, the G La Brique team organizes every year its main exhibition in August over 1500m².

Some of G La Brique’s members often participate in others LUG’s events. It’s really important for us to share our passion and meet others AFOL, but also to involve the public in rediscovering Lego through group activities. We’re regularly asked to take part in events linked, for example, to emblematic buildings in the region, or sporting or cultural events, to get the public involved in creating a Lego mosaic or giant construction. Thanks to this, we’ve built up quite a reputation locally, and we’re always well attended.
