Week 33 2018

Hello!

There's a great little pop up shop in Duras, with arts and crafts from local artisans including my favourite potter Jo McKinnon. Find her on the mezzanine level above the newly renovated area in the centre of Duras. There's a lift and stairs for easy access.



15th August is one of the four set Catholic holidays in France (can you name the others?)  It celebrates the day when Mary was taken from her earthly life to enter into the life of God.  It also falls in the middle of the summer, so a great time for an extra bit of holiday!  It’s on a Wednesday this year, so as you can see some villages have combined it with the village fete 

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