Week 36 2024

Hello!

It's back to school and it's time to get out and join a club.  Each town and village hold their own 'Association Day' - Forum des Associations - where you can go along and find an activity or club to join. You don't have to live in that town to join that association. Have a look around.  It's a great way to meet new people, learn a new skill, polish up on your French.


 

I'll be in Sauveterre-de-Guyenne supporting our association, Arts Typiques and talking about all things clay, but also, drawing workshops, sewing, felting, weaving, textile printing and all the other activities we offer from the Maison des Artisans.

Associations are non-profit making groups, they're usually really inexpensive to join and are a great way to integrate into the community.

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

Week 35 2024

 Hello!

It's back to school next week for the children in France.  But I'd much rather be dining by the river, sipping wine and watching the swans swim by.

There have been several pop-up events a Bistro Rigaud, and fortunately they have managed to secure the chef for 2 more dates - 25th September and 16th October.

 

Places are limited, the seasonal menu for September is set.  The restaurant is on the waterfront at Mouliets et Villemartin. Please message 06 29 27 99 15 to book.

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