English conversation class and the submarine pens of L'Orient

A knock on the hull yesterday afternoon,  Eric introduced himself
He teaches English and asked if we'd be happy to have conversation with some of his students in the morning at the port's cafe.

Here we are: Philippe (magician and hynotist) Danny (retired weights and measures man) and Corinne (dog trainer). We had a very happy hour chatting. New friends!

Eric kindly gave us a lift into L'Orient. We spent the day exploring the massive 2nd WW submarine pens, a tour of a 1956 sub, and looking at more super fast fancy round the world racing yachts
