Favourites are regular weekend trips in the countryside at the beginning and end of the dance season, which are linked to tourism, an essential campfire with the guitar singing, games and competitions, where the fun and enjoyable experiences abound. Unforgettable is a charming holiday bike ride or canoeing waters.
