Paimpol - Conference Hydroliennes - Lundi 20/10

Rendezvous at Lannion club for a day in Paimpol, stopping briefly at Treguier to see the cathedral with its’ magnificent cloisters. We were treated to a presentation on sustainable and enviro-friendly building followed by a short walk to the Hotel De Ville to meet with the Deputy Mayor and a press reception. Again, we made it into the national newspaper. By this time we were well used to the fame and celebrity. Then back to the Paimpol Rotary club for a fine cold meat lunch followed by a tour of the local harbours and a tomato hothouse producing 2,500 tonnes of beautiful tomatoes per year. According to Don they tasted delicious... Another quick drive to another local port gave us an insight onto the local scallop industry where they are only allowed to drag for scallops for 1 hour, twice a week under the close supervision of many authorities. Finally we returned to the Paimpol club for a dinner and presentation. Stephan continued his fine form from Saturday and demolished 3 heavy cream deserts to the astonishment and wonder of the Rotarians. The Haka was delivered with Gusto and which was replied to with our first experience of La Marseilles.
