Hello!
Lots going on at the weekends all around and about, and Bordeaux is the place to go for an outdoor shopping experience as both the Autumn Fair at Quinconces and the Christmas Market in the Allees de Tourny start this week. With only a short walk between the two it’s a great way to spend the day.Talking about ‘spending’ - if you still have some old French Francs lurking in the back of a drawer all is not lost – you can use them at the Patisserie Lopez in rue Gambetta, Libourne (it’s the one that sells the to-die-for walnut tarts) until the end of January 2012.
Keep an eye on the Christmas Market blog page as I keep updating it as I hear of more Christmas Markets, and any feedback and recommendations are gratefully received.
Best wishes,
Helen

21 November 21h : Gasland is playing in VO at Cinema Le Lascaux, Montpon.
It is happening all across America-rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from an energy company wanting to lease their property. Reason? The company hopes to tap into a reservoir dubbed the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas." Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground-a hydraulic drilling process called "fracking"-and suddenly America finds itself on the precipice of becoming an energy superpower.
I’ll have to ask my man-in-the-know if it’s really true…?

Coming up :
Christmas is coming and the team at Sanse wants to help you get into the spirit of it.
Come and join us for our first ever Christmas Market. To be held on the 3rd of December 2011 in the warmth and luxury of our dining room and adjoining function rooms between 10am and 6pm.
We will be supporting the Telethon (the French version of Children in Need) by holding a RAFFLE. Some of the prizes on offer will be a dinner for two here at the Château, some nice wine, a hamper of goodies offered by our suppliers and an array of products donated by the stall holders taking part that day. Tickets are on sale now and will be pulled out of a hat at 5.30pm on the day of the market. All of the proceeds from the raffle and donations will be sent to the Telethon which will then be given to sick children in desperate need of your help and ours.
So if you are looking for a hand crafted gift, an original landscape painting, some authentic Christmas cake from “The Cake Fairy” or perhaps a hand-made Christmas card or two…then you’ll be sure to mark off some of the things on your Christmas list.
Light snacks and refreshments will be available on the day, so you can munch on a panini whilst sipping some mulled wine or a hot toddy as you browse the lovely gifts on offer.
So come on down here and get a double whammy feel good feeling, eat, drink, donate, be merry and cross off the things on your Christmas list.
Some great reasons to come to Sanse…..go on, you know it makes Sanse!!!!!
