| Something for everyone... |
Hello!
Twice a year, Rauzan hosts an Antique and Collectables Fair
in the middle of an otherwise sleepy little village. Hundreds of dealers come from all over France
with their array of Antiques from pictures to pottery and garden tools to
glassware, there really is something for everyone and this year was no
exception. There were some big ticket
items inside the hall with prices to make your jaw drop but there were also
plenty of bargains – don’t be afraid to haggle!
 |
| ...from near and far. |
I’m looking forward to the Balloon festival in St Emilion
this coming weekend. It opens on
Thursday evening with a Musical Light show ‘Night Glow’ as the sun sets. Headed by a conductor, the Balloonists will
light their burners in time to the music…
Thank you for your great feedback and contributions,
notjustfortheholidays is going from strength to strength. Have a good week,
Best wishes,
Helen
