Hello!
If you want to do something traditional this weekend then
head off in the direction of Pineuilh for the 13th Annual
Bandas. Held at the Sports field
opposite the big Leclerc, four or five different Bandas will entertain you. Go prepared to join in with the entertainment
as the Bandas are often seen marching along the table tops as they encourage
everyone to participate. Buy your food,
choose your drinks from the stands and have a great evening.
Have a great week whatever you do this weekend in the
Gironde and Dordogne regions,
Best wishes,
Helen
