Cite des Telecom & Morlaix Chamber of Commerce - Jeudi 23/10

The morning started with a trip to the Cite des Telecom http://www.cite-telecoms.com/ a museum tracing the history of telecommunications including the satellite that was used for the first transcontinent television broadcast between France and the US in 1962. This visit was very interesting, including seeing the 50m tall ball that housed the satellite (the arch de triomph would fit inside this!!). Unfortunatley this trip was all to short as we had a sandwich to catch and another meeting to make…
On the road again on our way to Morlaix and another oyster farm, producing 2,800 tonnes per year!! A quick oyster or two along with a loverly Rose and we were off again.

Next stop was a food factory producing 250 lines of foods, precooked and frozen for sale in France (5% is sold internationally).

Next onto the Morlaix Chamber of Commerce to meet the president of the Chamber for a brief discussion of their operations.
From the Chamber of commerce we were rushed off to meet the Mayor of Morlaix for an orange juice before we walked to the restaurant for our dinner and another warmly received presentation….

We packed the van and headed home, another late night but a great dinner and plenty of laughs…
