Our Social event will take place at the Domaine du Lac Kir, a placed on the banks of the Kir Lake, also known as Lac Kir. The Kir Lake is a man-made lake located in Dijon, the capital city of the Burgundy region in France. It was created in the 19th century by a local politician named Felix Kir, who had a vision of transforming the area into a recreational spot for the residents. The lake is fed by the Ouche River and covers an area of around 37 hectares. It has a scenic walking trail around its circumference and offers a variety of activities such as boating, fishing, and swimming. The area around Kir Lake is also known for its vineyards, making it a popular spot for wine tasting tours. The Lake name is a reference to the famous Kir French cocktail, wich is made with a measure of crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) topped up with white wine. In France it is usually drunk as an apéritif before a meal or snack. It was originally made with Bourgogne Aligoté, a white wine of Burgundy, but today various white wines are used throughout France, according to the region and the barkeeper. It used to be called blanc-cassis, but it is now named after Félix Kir (1876–1968), mayor of Dijon in Burgundy. Kir was a pioneer of the twinning movement in the aftermath of the Second World War, and popularized the drink by offering it at receptions to visiting delegations.
