Week 29 2018

Hello!

There were wonderful fireworks in Castillon and if you're in search of more to feast your eyes on, the Battle of Castillon opens this week.  If you've never seen this amazing open-air show, then find out more and buy tickets here. It's a wonderful evening of entertainment.  Go early and enjoy the Village d'Aliénor with entertainment, games and wine tasting. Dine at the open air tavern on long tables before heading on to watch the night time extravaganza - truly a spectacular spectacular!

The show itself lasts a 90 minute one act show and is set on the 7 hectaire grounds of the Chateau de Castegens.  I note they now charge a €1 parking fee.  There is also an exhibition to visit in Castillon itself.

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great time.
Best wishes,
Helen
