Week 6 2013

Hello!

For all film fans, there’s plenty to see in English this week, though the times are quite varied with afternoon showings in Libourne.  Though if the weather is gloomy then why not go off to the cinema in the afternoon?  Please take care to check the film times before you go, sometimes they are not quite as advertised.

Last year at the Libourne Chinese New Year celebrations.

The Chinese New Year is being celebrated this weekend in Libourne.  The Year of the Snake kicks off with a Dragon parade mid-afternoon in Rue Gambetta.  Wrap up warm and go and have a look.

Thank you for the contributions to the For Sale page.  Things are starting to sell.

Have a good week,

Best wishes

Helen
