Our recent visit to Coutances to sing with the fabulous La Canterie was a huge success. We were hosted extremely comfortably in the homes of La Canterie singers and members of the Ilkley-Coutances Twinning Committee.
On the Saturday night, we were treated to a delicious home-made meal after both choirs came together for a joint concert in Coutances. On the Sunday, we sang together, this time in nearby Coutainville, where we were blown away by the acoustics of the venue.
Add to all this a day of sightseeing on the way there, taking in the British Normandy Memorial and Bayeux War Cemetery as well as the Bayeux Tapestry and on the Monday, visits to the Dior Museum, the town of Granville, the Cornille Havard Foundry and Hambye Abbey. Absolutely amazing trip! Thanks to the organisers and thank you to our hosts, La Canterie. See you all again soon!
