Hello,
Your training is "given" compared to the prices realized in France ...
What a pity that I cannot live in Quebec to participate (and enjoy your beautiful province that I have already had the chance to visit)!
You wouldn't come for training in our beautiful country one of these days by chance? In Lyon for example… I am a taker!
Sportingly.
