Hello!
This week we have one of the four set Catholic holidays in France
(can you name the others?) It celebrates
the day when Mary was taken from her earthly life to enter into the life of
God. It also falls in the middle of the
summer, so a great time for an extra bit of holiday! Especially as this year it's a Thursday, giving those who aren't on holiday, the chance to Faire le pont!

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