Hello!
The Epicuriales return to Bordeaux from 12 – 27 June. Les Allees du Tourney are turned into a
wonderful open air food hall with many of the great chefs of the region coming
together to showcase their restaurants and their style of cooking all in one
wonderful ‘dining room’.
Find out who will be there, what you can see and eat and when
the chefs are demonstrating their skills.
There’s something for everyone…you can book an evening with a Michelin
starred chef… taste tapas as the sun sets… dine on traditional Moroccan Tajine…
indulge in the best regional cuisine.
There really is a flavour to suit all taste buds!
Whatever you eat and wherever you are in the Dordogne and
Gironde regions – have a great week.
Best wishes,
Helen

The Fete de la
Musique is traditionally held in France on midsummer’s day. It all began in 1982 when the then Minister
of Culture Jack Lang decided to revive the pagan Festival of St Jean. He invited musicians from all walks of life
to join together and give free concerts.
Over 30 years later the event has spread throughout the world.
There will be a
concert near you to enjoy this weekend – have a good time.
