From 11 to 13 September, the Class of 1981 of EM Normandie reunited in Le Havre to celebrate 45 years since their graduation. Three days filled with reunions, memories, laughter and good times — all under sunny skies that stayed with them throughout the weekend!

The celebrations began in the auditorium of the new Le Havre campus, followed by a tour of the facilities. A great opportunity to discover what the school looks like today and to see just how much it has evolved since their student days.

The group was then welcomed at Le Havre Town Hall by Jean-Baptiste Gastinne, First Deputy Mayor of Le Havre and Vice-President of the Normandy Region, where they enjoyed panoramic views of the city from the terrace.

But the real journey back in time came with a visit to Richelieu, the former campus. A few familiar walls, a few memories… and suddenly, the stories and anecdotes from their student days came flooding back!

The weekend was also packed with a wide variety of visits and activities, including the Monet exhibition at MuMa, a boat tour of the Port of Le Havre, a visit to La Maison de l’Armateur and the Appartement Témoin. In short, a weekend full of discoveries, conversations and shared memories!

Throughout the three days, conversations continued and memories were shared — proof that 45 years on, the spirit of the Class of 1981 is still very much alive.

A huge thank you to Noelle Bessin Legrand, Géorgine Amiot Baudet and Eric Baudet for their involvement in making this reunion such a memorable one!

Campuses change, lives evolve… but some memories never fade.
