Here are the events for this year, not only those of the ESU Loire Valley, but other associations too. We have everything from quizzes to hog roasts.

Congratulations to Yolande Powell for the first and third placed pictures in the January photographic competition for her photos “The castle in Autumn” and “Sunset over the Loire”, and to Jean-Paul  Paitreault for his photo of the Voiliers at Le Thoureil, which was placed second.

Hope to see you soon.
