Week 13 2017

Hello!

The sun shone and Pellegrue was alive with a carnival.

Easter is just around the corner and if you know of any events or activities happening over this time, please let me know.

Whatever you do in the coming week, enjoy the longer evenings (we've had aperos outside!) and have a great time in the Gironde and Dordogne regions.

Best wishes,
Helen
