A Saturday at the carbet

On Saturday 28/04/12, Thales invited the MSG-3 teams to a "Carbet" along the river Kourou.
A carbet is the traditional habitation of the Amerindians, a kind of open shelter in a relatively isolated place in the forest or along a river. The roof, in the past made from palm tree leaves, is supported by a simple wooden structure. The furniture is limited to few benches, chairs an a table. Local people usually go today to the Carbet for relaxing. The most courageous westerners enjoy overnight experiences there in a Hammock hung between two pillars for listenig the sounds of the rain forest.





Arrival the the "Carbet Freelance".




Volleyball match (...in the mud due the heavy rain). Congratulations to the players :-)




More civilised, was the bath under the rain in the Kourou river :-)

Paella on the menu, excellent!

A huge thanks to Thales, and Christine in particular for the perfect organisation, for this very nice day at the Carbet!
