Films about Grandvilliers
At the end of the general assembly, two films on the history of Grandvilliers were screened.
-« The first dating from 1958, a recording from a super 8 reel showed us, in particular, the old Grandvilliers race course, the center of the town at that time, a patronage fair, a patronage outing, a trip to Lourdes, all this by people from Grandvilliers, recognized among the public. The second, much more recent, concerned the presentation of the Grandvilliers medal, by Frédéric Douchet, mayor, to Pierre Mengin, almost a hundred years old, who attended the Liberation of Grandvilliers“, explains Daniel Delattre.
As for the museum, it manages, thanks to generous donors, to be filled with many precious objects relating to the history of the city. Do not hesitate to consult them during the openings of the chapel on certain Saturday afternoons.
