Hello!
The first Sunday of every month is car free in the centre of
Bordeaux, so we headed over there to have a wander round. For easiest access, take the tram.
We ended up in the St Pierre area where they have a huge
flea market spread all around the square.
It seems anything goes… there was even a giraffe for sale!
But what’s with the big red ball? All suggestions welcome. They were inflating it when we arrived and it
stayed there all morning. Find out here.
Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a great
time.
Best wishes,
Helen

Breche in Ste Foy la Grande
Fred and
Mick, two old friends, are on vacation in an elegant hotel at the foot of the
Alps. Fred, a composer and conductor, is now retired. Mick, a film director, is
still working. They look with curiosity and tenderness on their children's
confused lives, Mick's enthusiastic young writers, and the other hotel guests.
While Mick scrambles to finish the screenplay for what he imagines will be his
last important film, Fred has no intention of resuming his musical career. But
someone wants at all costs to hear him conduct again. Starring Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel and
Rachel Weisz

And finally…
It’s true… Les Guinots is fighting to continue production of
their wonderful sparkling wine. It’s
taken a big chunk of my morning, but I think that the i-petition should
work!
Please show your support by adding
your name to the petition. Once Terroirs
Vins et Découvertes realise there is a following
for the fizz we can try and convince them to continue the production.
