The Franco-British Week continues.
The week started with a great success with the “vernissage” of the art exhibition in Salle Clarisse
Briand with 14 artists exhibiting in their different disciplines. This is open every day and is a not to
miss event. In the evening the BBQ – Karaoke evening was a sell-out.
Hopefully, by now you have your own copy of the week’s events but if not go to www.cepf.fr and
down load (telecharger) the programme. In extremist e-mail ronald.marsh@wanado.fr
So what is to come..? Act quickly and make your reservations as necessary.

fallow farm land and have transformed it a beautiful garden, just like Monty Don’s Long Meadow.
Reservation is necessary.
In the evening at 20h00 in le Temple, rue Pasteur, there is a free concert with James Anderson
singing music from rock to classic, from pop to cabaret, all of which he hopes you will join in the
