Tous en Scène 35 was created in 2026 to offer informal language sessions following the closure the previous year of language groups run by the Comité du Jumelage in Vitré.
Vitré is a dynamic town, and many of us are passionate about language learning, travel and different cultures. We are here to promote this rich interplay of interests in a fun and approachable way.
Starting a face-to-face conversation in another language is the first step towards discovering a new way of thinking and being. There are so many reasons to start or continue this journey, whatever your age or stage in life.
“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts.”
Tous en Scène 35 was founded by Nicolas Poupinet, Karen Fanshawe and Corinne Tuplin.
Nico is a chef by profession but is passionate about languages and different cultures, particularly gastronomy. He maintains a garden of exotic fruit and vegetables from around the world, including an enviable collection of hot peppers.
Karen qualified as an English language teacher (Teaching English as a Foreign Language, or TEFL) over twenty years ago. For several years, she taught English conversation classes for the Twinning Committee in Vitré, and she continues to work as a local English language teacher.
Corinne is a dual-nationality lawyer qualified in France, England and Wales, and the Republic of Ireland. In 2026, she qualified as an English language teacher through the University of Cambridge's Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) programme and has already started the Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (DELTA).
She is hoping to take the plunge and start learning Spanish.
