The first day a visit to Reims Cathedral, was followed by a trip to the Champagne cellars and the recently restored Villa of Pommery to sample the best champagne.
The next day a guided visit to the Museum of Sens and with a picnic at Fontainbleau and a tour of the historical Chateau. On the last night, members were treated to a 6-course dinner, with all the Sens Rotary Club members and other guests the President of the Senegal Rotary Club and his wife.
Our Club President Alison gave a thank you speech (in French) for all the hospitality and kindness given to Chester Deva Rotary members especially in the homes of Sens Rotary members. 
The Sens Rotary President Jean Cousin responded(in English):“Dear President Alison, dear Rotary friends, it was our pleasure to spend these few days with you. Our two clubs, ever so far from each other in distance, are close to our hearts and this type of meeting is the best way to reinforce these bonds. At the end of this year, we hope to see you in Metz. In the mean time convey our best wishes to the members of your Club. who did not have the opportunity to come with you.”
