For Nikita and other interested people
In 2009 ten years after the last race welcoming spectators (Bol d'Or in September 1999), the Circuit Paul Ricard HTTT opens new doors to the public on the occasion of racing events and racing clubs.
Personally, my last visit of the circuit Paul Ricard was in 1996, for my work (security agent) at the time of the Bol D'or, race endurance motorcycle during 24 hours)
The circuit is now open to the public, various driving courses are offered: GT, F1, motorcycle, karting, defensive driving. And there are also tests of competition and simulators .

The old soldier retire, after more than sixty years of good and faithful service for the Lighthouses and Beacons department.
Mission accomplished for "King Gradlon". Doubtless she's going to miss a bit in the local landscape...
Maybe, for people who don't live in an harbour, it's nothing else as "a thing", but believe it or not, a ship is a kind of living being as soon as you live in an harbour... These "things" have a soul and, from the footbridge up to the hold, so many dreams of travels in them... I guess that lot of sailors in the world should say the same...

During the palaver, the massacre continues...
An important part of the local information today is dedicated to the visit in my city of our Minister for Ecology, Madam Ségolène Royal.
Her visit "coincides" (i don't believe in coincidences, especially when they involve a Minister) with the return to Lorient of the scientific schooner Tara, after a scientific campaign of studies of the pollution of the Méditerrannean sea by plastics. Tara even made a small tour near the Groix island, in front of Lorient, before accosting (Madam Minister was late, maybe, or It's the tide which was early...?)
And we go with reports there, " alarming ", " edifying " and others... " The pollution of the oceans generally and the Mediterranean Sea in particular is a plague, has everybody to put itself in it to reduce it ", declared the Minister.
It's good, Ségolène, that's powerful and it's doubtless with this kind of brave and strong statements that we are going to change something... There has been already lot of studies and reports on this topic, but during this time there, fishes and all the food chain continue to stuff it more and more, some plastic... And i, who live here for more than fifty years, i have seen captains and shipowners sentenced to ridiculously low fines for having flushed out the tanks at sea, but i have never, never, seen any cop or coast guard punishing somebody because he let drag his shit of plastics and cigarette ends on the beaches...
So, so long, Madam Minister. See you soon, doubtless with other great speeches and maybe, maybe, with some little results...
