The Agricultural Festival has been an amazing time this Sunday in Roquebrune-sur-Argens.

 A new season is about to start ! 

Therefore, on Saturday, an internal training day was organized by the RCSC-CCFF of Roquebrune-sur-Argens in the surrounding massifs.

Out targets were to :

• Train new recruits to operate in the field within the patrols deployed daily from late June to September, and to handle situations and movements in forested areas.
• Train and evaluate volunteers with a few seasons of experience in field supervision.
• Create group dynamics and strengthen team cohesion.

 From the Lieutenant's track at La Bouverie in the north of the commune, passing through Les Clapiers, Gayol, and the lower part of Bastide Neuve where a countryside picnic provides a chance to eat and exchange ideas, then through Valcologne, Peigros, the lookout point of Sainte Maxime with its superb view of the bay of Saint Tropez, and finally Col de Valdingarde, the missions follow one after another at a good pace before returning to the command post for vehicle cleaning and a global debriefing.

On this Date, lets remember about all who gave their lives so that freedom did triumph.

This Thursday, France commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Liberation on May 8, 1945.

This solemn tribute, observed both nationally and locally, honors "all those who died for the Liberation of France."

The ceremony took place this morning at the War Memorial in the village, in the presence of Mr. Jean Cayron, Mayor of Roquebrune-sur-Argens, who emphasized, among other things, the duty of remembrance; Ms. Julie Lechanteux, Member of Parliament for the 5th constituency of the Var; Ms. Martine Arenas, Vice-President of the Departmental Council; as well as numerous elected officials and representatives of public services and associations.

A delegation of volunteers, led by Francis Lemoine, Deputy President, proudly represented the RCSC-CCFF entity of our town.

The national anthem, "La Marseillaise" was sung by the village children, and the parade of the flags concluded the ceremony.

Following this historic commemoration, at the invitation of the respective twinning committees, a poignant and hopeful ceremony brought together stakeholders and elected officials from Pfinztal (Germany) and Roquebrune-sur-Argens.

A friendly gathering allowed everyone to share and enjoy this late morning under the spring sunshine!
