Week 21 2013




Hello!

I’m going to tell you a secret… there’s a gorgeous restaurant hidden away in the vines between St Emilion and St Christophe des Bardes.  We went there for a celebration lunch on Sunday and had a delicious lunch.  We were superbly looked after by Mathieu and Sophie in the beautifully Asian inspired dining room. 

All that was left at the end...
If you need a recommendation for a special meal, look no further than Les Belles Perdrix at Chateau Troplong-Mondot. http://www.chateau-troplong-mondot.com/eng/Reception.asp

There are plenty of other things to do in and around the Gironde and Dordogne Region, if you know of anything, or want to share an event, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Have a good week,



Best wishes,
Helen

Hi folks

The Mozaic Jazz Band, fresh home from a superbly successful concert in Norfolk, England, last week, will next be in concert in Bergerac as part of the Festival de Jazz Pourpre, on Sunday 26th May at 3.45 pm (for those who I said it was earlier, please read again as the timing has been changed)

We will be playing in the Place Gambetta, where the sous Préfecture is and the Centre Culturel.

I look forward to seeing some familiar faces in the audience. I believe there is to be a marquee just in case the skies don't know it's nearly summer.

Cheers
