FRANCE TRIP
Every year, Westminster Boating Base, the kayaking and sailing club in the centre of London, decamps for sunny France, in a tradition that started in the late 1980s. The destination is always the ‘Espace Eaux Vive du Pilat Rhodanien’ artificial course just south of Lyon, on the Rhone, in the shadow of Saint Pierre De Boeuf, a small, picturesque village with all the necessary local amenities. Add warm water and sun, and St Pierre, as everyone ends up calling it, makes for a perfect learning environment.
