Hello!
 | |
| Rauzan Winter Puces |
There are plenty of signs that autumn is here... the leaves
are all changing colour and blowing everywhere, the clocks have gone back an
hour, mushrooms are popping up everywhere and this morning I heard the cranes flying overhead – now I’m sure winter
can’t be far away!
There are good things too – the excuse to snuggle beside the fire with a glass of something warming! And of course there’s the Winter Flea Market in Rauzan. We braved the rain on Sunday to see what there was, and there were plenty of stalls inside.

| So much to look through... |
Christmas markets are starting up – if you have an event in
the Gironde and Dordogne regions that you’d like me to add, just send me the information
and I’ll put it into the relevant sections. Thank you for your continuing contributions.
Have a great week,
Best wishes,
Helen

To all those interested in Rugby, whether as a player, an
ex-player or just a lover of the game, there is a weekend of rugby which might
entice you away from the fireside and watching England v New Zealand on the
television.
On Saturday 16th November at Stade Robert Boulin
in Libourne starting at 2pm, there is a tournament for Veterans – The Vinovalies.
This brings teams from around France, North Spain and England. This
year, for the 5th time, a team from my club, The Dartfordians, will
be trying to uphold the honour of England. Nearly 50 players and supporters
make up their party. At the finish of play there is a large beer tent where all
the players and their supporters gather and enjoy the friendship which is
typical of rugby supporters from wherever they come from.
Sunday 17 November
17 November : Christmas Market in Libourne.
17 November : Winter Marches du Puces in Rauzan, it’s back
for 5 months, every Sunday, so wrap up warm (honestly it’s the coldest place in
the world with the concrete floors and no windows to let the sunlight in) and
go and find that hidden treasure – don’t be afraid to ask the price and haggle!
On Sunday 17th November, the Dartfordians are
being hosted by US Bergerac to watch their game against St. Junien. The
game kicks off at 3.30 pm in Stade Gaston Simounet which is in front la Salle
Anatole France in Bergerac. Before the match at 1 pm you can enjoy
