le 15 août

August 15th is a big day in France and in our town. It is the town's annual 'fête' and it is the Feast of St. Mary (l'assomption de la vierge- the day Mary went to heaven). It is celebrated in the usual ways, all day festival/markets, dinner and carrying on ending with the ubiquitous fireworks! A good time was had by all, it was especially fun sitting with our friends Gerard et Christiane from down the road.
