Seniors from Sainte-Jamme-sur-Sarthe Discover Notre-Dame on a Trip to Paris
Published
Members of the local group of the Les Générations movement from Sainte-Jamme-sur-Sarthe, in the Sarthe department, organised a day trip to Paris. The aim of the outing was to visit Notre-Dame Cathedral, a monument well known in France and around the world.
Les Générations is an association that offers leisure, cultural and social activities to retired people. For the participants, the trip is an opportunity to leave their village and share a friendly moment together. Many of them had not had the chance to see the cathedral up close since its reopening after the fire of 2019.
On site, the group was able to admire the Gothic architecture of the building, its stained-glass windows and its great nave. The visit allowed the participants to discover or rediscover the history of this monument, which attracts millions of visitors from all over the planet each year.
This type of cultural outing is regularly offered by the movement's local groups. It shows that local tourism and heritage discovery activities remain very popular with French retirees, particularly in small towns in rural France.
