At the harbour of Saint-Vaast la Hougue,
we take a strange sort of
boat (it has wheels!) in order to cross the half mile
to the island, and we arrive (safely).
We discover the environment of the Center.
There, we have at our disposal a conference
room, a computer room,
a restaurant (also serves as a bar),
and an enjoyable yard for breaks,
a time when we can also pay a visit to Abélard.
We are waiting for the boat before the visit to the German batteries
of Azeville, in Normandy. Visit of a farm-museum
where we can taste cider (no photographic evidence of this, though).
An evening of dances
animated by a group of musicians.
The full-day excursion
consists in a traversal by foot of the Bay of
Mont-Saint-Michel. We take off from
the dunes of Plage des Genêts where
a picnic
has been arranged.
We start the
traversal,
6 kms (3.5 miles) on sand,
in order to reach the rock of Tombelaine and, eventually,
Mont-Saint-Michel.
The banquet
evening where we shall also dance.
Preparing for
the group photo.
Preparation for
departure
near the restaurant, then we take the path leading to the landing
area.
We leave the Caen Team packing computers and equipment.
Farewell!
