The baptism of the Randoline
The Randoline was baptized on November 8th, 2008, by Amber, an 8 year old girl, who kindly agreed to be the little godmother.
The ceremony took place in our beautiful department of the Lot, in the vicinity of Lalbenque, at the gitê Poudally, which is located 300 meters from the road to St Jacques de Compostelle.
Like all proud parents, we were proud to present our "baby" and this celebration was the perfect opportunity to thank all those who had participated in the creation and realisation of the Randoline that helped make this beautiful dream come true
The choice of our little godmother : a great story
At spring 2009, Jacques Clouteau received a card from Amber, speaking against racism and discrimination, especially against persons with disabilities. His name had been drawn, at random, from the local telephone directory! Nice sign of destiny ... We were in the process of testing the prototype Randoline ... Immediately, it became clear that Amber would be the perfect little godmother for the Randoline.
At the ceremony, Amber, a thistle in her hand, said "Randoline, I baptize you pretty Randoline, and hope you will spread happiness on the roads »
Our hopes for the Randoline
We wish the Randoline a long life, giving happiness to the disabled who choose to use it. During the many demonstrations across France, it was these people who were the greatest enthusiasts. The expression on their faces was always the same, smiling, eyes twinkling with thoughts of adventure...
Their enthusiasm & joy encourages us and the adventure continues ...
A chance for the less able bodied to be independent, amongst other hikers, enjoying the pleasures of the trails, which aren’t always flat & easy going, setting aside differences, with the "clip-clop" of a small animal walking in front ...
