Hello!
There are Christmas trees popping up all around us. I haven't put ours up yet, but this is one of my favourites that I've spotted. Created by the Cafe Tricot in Gensac - I love its quirkiness.
Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, keep warm and have a great week.
Best wishes,
Helen
