Qi Gong and Tao garden
I remember that when I was quite little, from the age of 7, I often felt the need to meditate and pray out of site in my bedroom. On my own in
nature, I communicated with the animals, the trees and the spirits of nature. I was sure that there was another dimension apart from what we
could see...

In June we had the idea of floating above our North Médoc peninsula to see it from the air. Our starting point was “ Montgolfières du Médoc” at the Port de Richard. We had to wait several days for the right weather (i.e. wind) conditions...

took over the gym that has an adequate ceiling height for the twirling batons...

In the air with Alain
In the Médoc we don’t see too many aeroplanes; occasionally we see vapour trails across the sky or we hear a buzzing sound from way up high, like a large
angry insect. And now here I am sitting on this flying object! The buzz is intense and the wind whistles in my ears. It rolls forward in a stuttering
movement, you feel the aircraft vibrate and then it takes off. When I look down, I see a mirror of water and the green of the forests down below... Alain,
the owner and pilot of a motorized hang glider offers regional trips by air...

The Médomarocaine
My name is Clémence de Pourtalès, I am a first year student for the national diploma of oenologist. I am looking forward to the start of the 4 L Trophy
above all because it has a humanitarian purpose. Then there is the adventure in the middle of the desert and the Moroccan mountains. I think I will
experience total disorientation! The fact that I will be sharing the adventure with 3000 other students as well as my team-mate makes it all the
more exciting...
