Les Fêtes du Cardinal 13-14-15 July 2007


For the Bastille Day holiday, 13, 14 and 15 July the town has organised a weekend of events. They will centre around the opening of the relaid town square, la place du Marché, after the expenditure, it is said, of €2 million. The town's folk hope the local taxes don't rise too far, and that the tourists flock in to see the works.
The annual Wine Fair, a Exhibition of Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, genealogy of local families and interestingly of local buildings, 17 century theatre pieces and much more, particularly for children.......
