Visit from Plaisir

Would you like to give a home to a French person for a few days in July? Our friends from Plaisir will be with us from 10-15 July.
Then next year we go to their house! And visit Paris!!

Michael Sims - 1979; the first visit.

I heard recently from Michael Sims, who went on our first visit to Plaisir.

He has written about how he got on (with photos) at;

HERE

He has lost touch with the people he stayed with and some others who stayed with him in Lowestoft.

He would be pleased to hear from anyone who knows about them.

Visit to Plaisir in May Half Term

We are definitely going, so why not join us?? Air conditioned coach, (with toilet!), from Lowestoft to Plaisir and three days out while we are there including a day in PARIS! Stay with French people and learn about what they are like and how they live. You do not need to speak French, and everything is organised for you. Don't forget your passport and toothbrush!

Free Holiday in Plaisir!!

We are hoping to go to Plaisir, Half Term in May for six days. We stay with families in the town and go out on trips, one to Paris and a couple to other places. We go by coach and you will need to pay for this. Last time it was £150 per adult, with a substantial reduction for children/students. Children need to be accompanied. In principle, we have people from Plaisir back the following year, but why not try it and see how you get on. We saw a piece in the Journal, and have been going for 16 years. Why not find more about about it by contacting one of us (see below) of come to the AGM (Town Hall 7.30 on 7 Feb).

OUR FIRST VISIT 1979

See if you recognise any of the faces from the past!

Visit from Plaisir, 2008.

The first visit was to Somerleyton, for afternoon tea.

The second day was to Norwich, to see The Arcade and Elm Hill.

On Saturday we went to Cromer….

….then on to see the seals at Blakeney.

Visit to Plaisir 2009

This was the thirtieth anniversary of our first visit to Plaisir in 1979.

On the first day (Wednesday), we walked round the town, then had a picnic in the Chateau park.

We went to the Grand Marnier "factory",

then on to a new Theatre in Plaisir. Apparently, famous singers go there to rehearse, and young Plaisirois use it, keeping them out of trouble.

Thursday was our day in Paris. Peter took us to Monmartre,

then we went on the canal St Martin. We waited for Peter to get back from parking the coach, so that he could join his daughter on the trip.

Friday, we went to Dreux, first to the Chapelle Royal,

then a walk round the town,

and finally to a wine museum.

The Museum had lots of furniture and wine making things from the older days. We had a wine and cider tasting; the wine was very young.

This is a boat used to transport the wine.

Saturday, we spent with our host families, then an early start for home on Sunday.
