I’m very happy that you were successful for this event !
I really like the way you are organising this very original small wild observatory area.
I’m living in Artignosc-sur-Verdon, and here the weather was really bad, but,… as coming from the far North, I’m able to wait for a hole in the clouds. I’m in Provence but my sun in law is living in Ramillies so I know your interesting project, hope to meet you there.
Keep us the good work !
