Week 33 2014



Hello!

There are 2 things that you really should try and do before summers out!  First – have you been to the Battle of Castillon, this year it’s been besieged with setbacks from the turbulent weather and this weekend sees the last performances of 2014. So, don’t miss out – check out the information http://www.batailledecastillon.com/
Oysters

The second thing is a Night Market.  This year they have been great fun with a mouth watering selection of dishes to choose from – the mussels with lemon and cream in Castillon are delicious.  So if you haven’t managed to get to one yet, find your local one and gather together some glasses, cutlery and a few napkins and go out to join one.

Castillon Night Market
Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions have a great week.

Best wishes,

Helen

And finally…

If you are looking for something to do with children… Thank you JL, it looks good!

Les Zoulous in the hamlet of Les Gatinaux (24610) have started a small circus aimed mainly for children  www.letheatredeszoulous.fr
Check it out.
We went to the inaugural performance yesterday afternoon, it was professional, slick and imaginative.  A lovely way to pass an afternoon.   Performances are Thursday to Sunday from 14.00 to 18.00 .  She has lots of additional animals who are penned round the big top and are all pattable. Also available a small refreshment area.
Mirelle, our neighbour is available for bookings on 06 18 05 81 36.
As she presents spectaculars at schools etc. during term time, this theatre is scheduled to run all of August.
