Yes.

Looks like any other nice group dinner halfway through a Ramsar-related meeting, doesn't it?

With Ramsar-related participants milling all about in search of second and thirds, as usual. . . .

UNTIL Jean-Paul Taris began amusing himself by piling things on top of one another . . .

. . . in fact, piling things up with ascending hilarity amongst all the onlookers . . .

. . . until things got completely out of hand . . .

. . . and the police had to be summoned.

Whilst recovering from the Tour du Valat's predictable excesses, the Deputy Sailor General took some interesting photos of the wise use scenery in the region.

And then everyone went home. Except for a few, who decided to stay.
