One day, two fetes...

Yesterday we headed over with friends to the premier  'V'Art Festival in the lovely house and gardens of 'Les Viollieres' just outside Bossay-sur-Claise. On display were paintings by Charlotte, the owner of the house plus art in the form metal sculptures, glasswork, silks and specialist photo exhibits by local artists. The visit ended with music from 'Mistiti' who gave us a rendition of classic Edith Piaf songs.


After our visit we headed over to La Roche-Posay to their  Festival of Folk Arts and Traditions where everyone hid in the shade away from the sun 30+ degree temperatures - except for the dancers who were dressed in traditional costumes from their particular region who must have been sweltering.
The big surprise for us was a group of Scottish pipers and drummer.
For us it highlights how this part of France has so much to offer.
