Centre ville and the surrounding roads were cleared of cars yesterday afternoon and evening as the residents found places for them here and there. Those who needed to use cars today had to put them on the outskirts. Bit hard on the chefs of our family who need to transport food to our lake as the anglers this week have ordered the food package - two cooked meals a day. Also, the hospital nurse is due today to treat our daughter’s bad leg. Guess that’s the way the cookie crumbles, or perhaps, c’est la vie! The nurse knows the situation, laughed and said “No problem. I will find a solution.“ I wished her bon chance. She laughed again.
Our house in the centre is surrounded with stalls - and the bar van, with tables and benches is right outside our front door. At midday, we took a stroll and here are a few photos which I hope will give a flavour of the day…

Outdoor "midi".
In the afternoon (Sunday arter-noon, arter-dinner!) bigger crowds promenaded and their chatter and laughter merged with the music being played through the town speakers..and the nurse did "find a solution" so all worked out well.
Lively pictures! It looks quite an event. Pleased that the weather was good, and that the nurse managed to get through!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alison. It's been a good event - the bar van and champagne stall were the last to close - as usual - about half-an-hour ago! (9pm our time). The other stalls started packing up around 5.30. Now, the town council appear to be having a meeting at one of the trestle tables outside our front door. lol
