C.L.V.M.A. storing place.

Before being our actual storing place, this location was the storing place of the mine of Faulquemont. After its closure in 1974, those places were emptied and occupied by a woodwork. The DUF wanted to use all the empty storing places of the place and proposed a large number of them to associations. In exchange, the associations had to keep the places clean. A huge part of the place is for the AFPA ( Association for the Professional Formation of Adults). For the 60th Anniversay of the Liberation we asked a financial help to the Conseil Général and François Lavergne, headmaster of Créhange and General Councellor asked us if we had a place. We said no and he promised to find us one. He did so on May 1st, 2006. We took charge of cleaning up the inside and the DUF took charge of making the exterior look better.

We had the exceptional presence of our friends from Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and the USA. The ceremony of inauguration was followed by a lunch. The afternoon was marked by a ride with all our vehicles in the different cities forming the DUF and we had an other ride the day after.
