Week 37 2025

Hello!

It may feel a little autumnal, but there's no stopping Le Flot in Flaujagues, running through to the end of September, 2 dates remain, so get them in your diary.

It's a lovely relaxed way to spend and evening with friends, sharing plates of charcuterie and cheese. If the weather is overcast, it will be in the salle de fete.

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

Best wishes,

Helen

Les Ateliages, who are just downstairs from me at the Maison des Artisans in Saveterre are celebrating their 10th Birthday with an afternoon of creative activities and a ball in the evening.

Come along, there are creative workshops to try (for free!) all afternoon.

It's back to school and it's time to get out and join a club. Each town and village hold their own 'Association Day' - Forum des Associations - where you can go along and find an activity or club to join. You don't have to live in that town to join that association. Have a look around. It's a great way to meet new people, learn a new skill, polish up on your French.

I'll be in Sauveterre-de-Guyenne supporting our association, Arts Typiques and talking about all things clay, but also, drawing workshops, sewing, felting, weaving, textile printing and all the other activities we offer from the Maison des Artisans.

Associations are non-profit making groups, they're usually really inexpensive to join and are a great way to integrate into the community.

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

Best wishes,

Helen
