Visiting Paul Bracq - NEW VIDEO
« on: December 13, 2014, 00:08:12 »
Hi, everybody!
As you probably know last September ten Pagodas from Polish chapter went to France to visit maestro Paul Bracq and to enjoy Cote d’Azur.

Here you will find the video from this visit: http://youtu.be/T7WUMwxqfV4

Enjoy and Merry Christmas to all of you!

The first viewing of this film took place at our Xmas Party yesterday evening. It was great to revisit the places we drove through while sipping hot tea on a cold winter day in Poland :)

Artur's video exceeded our expectation as he made a compilation of videos from shots taken by many cameras. The little story is that Artur spent a lot of time filming our journey, but the very last evening of our trip he.... lost his camera with ALL the video scenes (those cameras with large memory...).
As the result, he was forced to review the less professional material from our cameras and mix them up.

In my private opinion... this had to enhance Artur's creativity as shown in the final production :)

Thanks Artur... and thanks to all for appreciation... have fun and meet you in our next one!

Damn!  That makes me want to move to Poland and join your club.  It's lonely here in Quebec.  I think we have about three or four Pagodas in Quebec province that is about the size of Poland.  The view of the Saint-Tropez police station reminded me of the hours I spent there trying to file a police report on the theft of my hand bag containing my credit cards and cash a few years ago, and the port in Saint-Tropez reminded me of drinking a nice glass of red wine in a sidewalk café with a rainbow film of oil floating on it from the big diesel yachts about docked 5 meters away.

That's a wonderful film and it looks like a wonderful club.

Congratulations!

Tom...
Merci bien...
You are most welcome to join...  :)

Last summer we had Garry in Poland (OK he wasn't visiting us specifically, but still ;)), so why not un Quebecois?

I concur with all the others, what a great trip you all must have had and thank you for sharing the video with us. My wife and I have traveled many of those roads, including a windy day driving over the Millau Viaduct :o but can only imagine driving those roads in our Pagoda. We have spotted Pagodas both times on our visits  to Monaco (one parked directly in front of the Casino) and on a back street in St. Tropez but I think I would have died and gone to heaven if I saw your caravan of Pagodas heading my way. Your video will be permanently bookmarked for us to enjoy time and again. Thank you!

Very nice! It makes me a bit homesick. I know these areas very well and I had a lot of good time there.

What a nice team you seem to have there in Poland! Congratulations!
