Under the first edition of the port party organised by the events committee of the municipality, the association "La Gacilly Patrimoine" proposed three animations from 2 pm to 7 pm: a postcards slide-show from 1900 to nowadays, a commented visit of "Bout du pont" (the end of the bridge) and traditional games.
Clarisse realised the party's photo report.

The slide-show
At 21, street of "Relais postal", Edith, Christian and Marcel invited spectators to the presentation of a slide-show about postcards and landscapes photos taken near to the "Aff" river. Some "Gaciliens" (Gacilly inhabitants) viewed a movie realised in 1947 by Mr. Georges Guillet during a party in La Gacilly.

The visits
At the "bout du pont", Jean-Claude and Michel accompanied visitors during a commented stroll on this ' work and life ' place. Several buildings and art work testify about our local story: the overflow, the bridge, the mill, the port and the "Bout du pont" place.

The traditional games
The court of the "canoe kayac" club welcomed the "Gallo" games. Jean-Yves, Gérard, Jean-Paul, Thierry, Yvon and Alain continuously explained gestures and rules of these games: "les quilles", "les palets" and “la galoche". More than 350 players tested their dexterity for the pleasure to tease the ball or to find back the sensations of their youth. |
At 7 pm, at the end of the games and the prize-giving, the association's objective was widely reached: « Share our heritage passion and make the public participate »
