Week 28 2021

 Hello!

This is the week that the Tour de France comes to Libourne and St Emilion!  Find out all about it here 

The Office de Tourism in St Emilion as plenty of information about the event.

Looks like the weather should be good for the cyclists and spectators alike.

Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, keep well and safe and have a good week.

Best wishes,
Helen

Night markets are back in business, grab your basket with your 'kit' - plates, cutlery, glasses and napkins and head to your local village square or waterfront.  There's often live music or a disco, there's always a choice of food, and it's a fun way to spend an evening.

Week 27 2021

 Hello!

Coming up is 14 July - Bastille Day and France's biggest holiday, and also the first big holiday celebration post Covid lockdowns and restrictions.

Be prepared for fireworks and village parties. This is going to be a celebration! My favourite place to watch the fireworks is on the Stone Bridge in Castillon. The fireworks there are always amazing. But you won't have to go far to find some.


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