Hello!
 |
| Plenty to see and buy in Rauzan. |
We put the heating on and lit the first fire of the season,
I think that autumn has arrived! We did
have good luck when we went to the Brocante at Rauzan on Friday, the sun shone
and we happily wandered round the stalls outside.

| Anything and everything... |
This weekend the Cercle Esprit 77, a group of 12 women in
Castillon, are holding their first Salon du bien-être et de la beauté. This event consists of 26 stands celebrating all
things beauty and well-being for the body and soul. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet
and try various treatments and therapies such as reflexology and the use of
essential oils, massage and even a medium.
During the day they will be joined by groups from l’Amicale
laïque who offer dance classes as well as yoga and taï-chi throughout the year. It’s free to visit, and living in rural
France it’s a rare chance to have such a collection of therapies under the same
roof, and at the same time! To find out
more see the article in the Sud-Ouest http://www.sudouest.fr/2013/10/14/le-bien-etre-tient-salon-a-la-campagne-1198372-2820.php
Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne have a
great week – I’m always on the look out for events to publicise, so please don’t
hesitate to send me any events you’d like included.
Best wishes,
Helen
