I am at the Saint-Symphorien for the 34th day of Ligue 1, bus organized by “Les Grenats et Blancs” of Forbach: FC Metz against Stade Rennais. In a spectacular match, the Grenats quickly opened the score in the 8th minute thanks to a superb strike from Lenny Joseph. But Rennes then reacted and equalized in…

I had the pleasure of participating in the popular walk organized by the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers de Stiring-Wendel Schoeneck on this sunny Wednesday, May 1, 2024. The atmosphere was friendly from the start of the Sociocultural Center of Schoeneck (registration between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.). The route, approximately 10 km, was accessible to all…

On April 28, 2024, I attended the match between FC Metz and LOSC Lille at the Stade Saint-Symphorien.

Lille’s goals were scored in the 31st minute by Brazilian Ismaily Gonçalves dos Santos and…

This afternoon I enjoy (again… it’s really my passion!) a platter of fresh oysters at the restaurant La Voile Bleue, accompanied by a spicy shallot sauce, a real iodized delight. Then, a grilled fish fillet served with homemade mash and a creamy herb sauce. As the day draws to a close, nature offers me a…

A moment of tranquility and discovery on the Beach of Bray-Dunes in front of our Apartment Evancy Etoile de mer. Under a clear sky, the spectacle is magnificent: many sand yachts with colorful sails glide elegantly on the wet sand, carried by a light sea breeze. The Opal Coast and the North of France are…

This afternoon, a gourmet getaway by the sea at the restaurant La Voile Bleue, a must for all lovers of the sea.

Not far from Fort des Dunes, I take the opportunity to visit the Zuydcoote National Necropolis, a place of remembrance and contemplation. Built near the dunes and the North Sea, the Necropolis is a place full of history where thousands of soldiers who fell during several world conflicts, in particular the First World War (1914-1918)…

I am now visiting the “Fort des Dunes” located in Leffrinckoucke, between Bray-Dunes and Dunkirk. This visit is a dive into the heart of the history of the Fort des Dunes, a place of remembrance of the Second World War. This structure was part of the Maginot Line and was used during the Battle of…

Today, great morning on the beach of Bray-Dunes, we feel a bit like we are at the end of the world. The landscape is magnificent, the beach is constantly changing, each gust of wind “draws” ephemeral banks of water, nothing remains fixed. It is the perfect place for water sports as well as for horse…

2nd day in Bray-Dunes, we have lunch in the Restaurant La Voile Bleue (my favorite by far here): fresh and au gratin Dunkirk oysters, a iodized delight to savor without moderation, then a real feast of the sea composed of fish, seafood and tasty mash. Then, a good Maroilles cheese typical of the north bought…
