July 2012 – Ch. Gontier
SATURDAY, JULY 7th
A SELECTION OF 5 ACTIVITIES & A PICNIC FOR A CONVIVIAL AFTERNOON in CHATEAU-GONTIER
Our base was Quai Pierre de Coubertin, in Chateau-Gontier, beside the canoe/Kayak centre.
EuroMayenne members were invited to make their choice among these 5 activities:
-
Guided Tour of the historical town of Chateau-Gontier
-
Walking on the towpath along the river Mayenne
-
Cycling on the towpath along the river Mayenne
-
Paddleboat on the river Mayenne
-
Kayaking on the river Mayenne
Most chose the tour – well two brave souls went kayaking! – but the weather was so bad that the Tourist Office, which provided the guide, suggested a guided tour of the Ursuline Convent so that we could keep dry. Good advice as it was a most interesting place, and worth going to see. The tourist office is the place to start.: http://www.sudmayenne.com/index.php?id_site=1&id_page=22
And to finish, a picnic & barbeque by the riverside (under an awning as the weather had not improved!)
