On the 16th November the launch of an Ariane Rocket carrying a communication satellite  for Venezuelan TV took place in Kourou and we were there to see it, we had tickets reserved for us by Olivier, who we met at the welcome party on the 3rd November.  So in a hire car shared with Fred and Claude we set of for Kourou, we relied on their French to arrange accommodation for two nights, the night of the launch in Kourou

       and a night in Cayenne the capital of French Guyana.      a great job they did too.
