I hadn't particularly been looking forward to the meal in the Village hall for the over 70's but it ended up being good fun. Everyone (150 of them) was there to enjoy themselves and apparently they did. There was music, dancing, singing and Jany doing a few sketches. The meal was excellent. We fell out from there just in time to head over to the new Mairie where guided tours were in progress with an apéritif to follow. During the afternoon there had been a symbolic removal of things from the old to the new mairie which had attracted about 60 or so volunteers, young and old. A good idea leaving people feeling as though they were part of something and that the Marie belongs to the citizens and not the elected representatives.
