Les Chars à voile

Today students went to an hour of class in the morning before our field trip today to Quiberon - about 45 minutes from Vannes.

We were blessed with another beautiful day to do the chars à voile - land sailing.  The instructor gave the students a lesson on how to handle the carts - how to steer, how to speed up/slow down and how to adjust for the wind.  Students were split into two groups of 12 - including a few French students who joined the outing today.  Some students got it right away, cruising around the course marked on the beach.  Some needed a bit of coaxing to get around the turns.  Overall, Christian and Olivier were the two flying around the course with ease.  A few students caught a little air when one wheel lifted and there were one or two who toppled.  Overall, it was a fun adventure.

After two hours of les chars à voile - it was lunchtime.  We settled in on a local beach in Quiberon for  our picnic lunches.  Students had two hours to eat, play on the beach, get some sun, buy some snacks or just walk around.

After lunch, we took a quick tour of the côte sauvage - untouched rocky beach/nature preserve.  Then it was back on the bus, back to meet up with their correspondants. Some still have class until 7:00 while others are done for the day.
