A busy year, but focused on visiting the maquis areas and their history — Corlay, Brancion, Cruzille, Blanot — notably for young people from various movements. Our concept: a school of patriotism through the discovery of the French countryside, its maquis areas, in vintage jeeps and "field" activities.
