Hello!
Sunny, rainy, sunny, rainy… and not enough HOT!
We were surprised on Saturday to find that the Bicycle
Race, the Tour de Gironde almost went past our door on the 3rd stage
of 4. So we rushed to the
end of the road just in time to see the bikes whizz by.
If you are a fan of cycling, a date for your diary should
be Tuesday 30 July 2013 which is when the celebrated Critérium is held in
Castillon. The race takes place on the
slopes behind Castillon and there are 32 laps of a 3.1km course. It often features famous cyclists hot from
the Tour de France.
In the mean time, there’s plenty to keep us busy in the
Gironde and Dordogne regions.
Whatever you do, have a good time.
Best wishes,
Helen

There will be a Vernissage on Tuesday 28th May, from 6pm

Coming up…
And finally…
We braved the chilly winds and wet weather to support the
opening night at the Plage at Castillon. The Plage is an open air restaurant on the banks
of the Dordogne in Castillon. You will
find it just under the stone bridge. The
menu includes a selection of salads, and they have steak, fish and sausages
cooked on a wood fire made from old vines, the hand cut chips aren’t too bad
either! They traditionally have live
music and dancing on a Sunday afternoon throughout the summer. What better way to spend a lazy Sunday…
