Open Day....
I had just finished creating the photo album and was about to write this post when President Macron of France announced that he was bringing back National Service which seemed appropriate. An event in the form of L'Ariégeoise 2018 cycle race then got in the way but, at last, here is the account of my trip north of Foix to visit the depot of 1er Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes de Parmiers on Saturday 26th May.
