Week 22 & 23 2024

 Hello!

The Olympic flame came and went through the region...


As did the rain, has it gone for a while?

It's a weekend of vide greniers, so head out and look for a bargain. Recycled, up-cycled, pre-loved... one person's trash is another person's treasure.

Whatever you do this week, have a great time in the Gironde and Dordogne regions.

Best wishes,
Helen

And finally...

The butterflies from a school workshop are on their way to the students.  It was a great day in the primary school - I always like being back in the classroom.

Week 19 & 20 2024

 Hello!

Exciting news...  Bistro Rigaud (formerly known as Au Four de la Rive) is opening to the public for only five nights this summer and these will be limited to only 30 covers each night, so quite exclusive I guess.  

The first date for your dairy is Wednesday 5 June.

They have an amazing, creative chef, called Oliver who was at several top notch London restaurants, including Bocco di Lupo and with Ottolenghi in both Nopi and in the development kitchens. He's got lots of amazing ideas and experience and will run a series of pop up nights on the river, pairing each night with a different wine producing chateau. 

 

So, do you have friends who love to wine and dine on the riverside? This is the perfect way to do just that.  Contact Bistro@chateaurigaud.co.uk to reserve your table.

Whatever you do in the Gironde and Dordogne regions over the upcoming weeks, seems the sun is back, so get out and about and enjoy yourselves,

Best wishes,
Helen,

And finally...

Pottery took me out and about this week - a day in a school making butterfly dishes...

 

... and a day in Monsegur at the Foire aux Fleurs.  Many thanks for everyone who dropped by and said hello!  Lots of mosquito coil stands got taken to new homes too!  Thank you!
