27 September was the R&D department’s yearly outing. That is where Danie works. : )
A team-building day, or get to know everyone day, or maybe they’ve worked hard enough to enjoy a day of fun. : ) Whatever one should call it, it was a lovely day for everyone to relax, organised by Diane, who has put in a LOT of effort… from the printed programs to having nice eats with the first coffee at the station and everything else.
We all met at Gare l’est in Paris and went by train from there to a small town called Provins. A little village that dates back to the middle-ages. You can still see buildings and the city walls from the 12th century, when the city was one of the largest trade cities in Europe. We started off with a guided tour in french, luckily we had enough people to translate for us. : )
La Tour César
…then a lovely lunch at Le Petit Ecu
The afternoon finished with a medieval show with horses, knights, ‘bad guys’ and of course sword fighting. With the knights chasing away the ‘bad guys’ and rescuing the pretty ladies. : ) All excellently done by the inhabitants of the area.
life in medieval times…
