On Thursday 18 April, the participants spent the day with the Jeunes Européens Rennes (Young Europeans Rennes) association and the Maison de l'Europe de Rennes (House of Europe of Rennes) in Tinténiac, discovering activities and tools about Europe.

To round off the study visit, the participants took a guided tour of Rennes. Michel Dorin, President of the Maison de l'Europe (House of Europe), and Patrick Twiddle then presented the Maison de l'Europe de Rennes (House of Europe of Rennes). The week ended with a guided tour of the Parliament of Brittany.

The trip to Brittany was an opportunity for the participants to discover and exchange ideas with the French teachers. The aim was to share and build different activities and tools around Europe together.
