Week 39 2025

Hello!

This weekend on Sunday it's the 8th Rencontre des Savoir-Faire in Sauveterre de Guyenne

It's a great day out, over 30 artisans will be hosting stands with demonstrations and explanations of the tips and techniques of their work, including, weavers, spinners, a potter with a wheel with a difference (no clues - it's me!), basket weaving, leatherwork, paper art, wood turning and not forgetting conferences, live music, entertainment, magic and juggling.

And if you're hungry, there are food truck, crepes, cakes and ice-cream, beers and wines. A great day out for all - venez nombreux!

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

Best wishes,

Helen

Week 22 2025

Hello!

This is the last jour ferie in May... this one is L'ascension and it always falls on a Thursday because it's 10 days before Pentecost Sunday. It marks the day that Jesus ascended to heaven following his crucifixion and resurrection, according to Christian belief. Please be aware that public services and many shops will be closed and as it's followed by a Friday, many businesses take the opportunity to 'faire le pont' so watch out for Friday too!

Whatever you do this weekend in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a good week. It's going to be great weather, so sit back and enjoy the sunshine.

Best wishes,
Helen
