My tour takes me by the port that separates Les Sables
from its sister city La Chaume. We see this ancient tower from all
around, but in a sense it is on foreign soil. La Chaume and Les
Sables have a long history of cooperation and rivalry. In more
violent times one was catholic, the other protestant. Today the
division is less pronounced, but those of La Chaume speak with their own
accent and mini-dialect. They are also known for their special "joie
de vivre". Tomorrow is D-Day and it is Mother's Day in France. It is also the day the day of the "Rally of La Chaume", a walking race around La Chaume where competitors seek out sites where they will find answers to questions about the life and history of La Chaume. WVU-V! will be a part of this competition, the proceeds of which will go to community projects. I hope to give you a report of the results tomorrow. |
