Vivre la France!

Another Bastille Day and another early start for the first of the two ceremonies in the commune. Today it was special as one old soldier was decorated with le croix de chevalier de la Légion d'honneur for his resistance and deportation to Dachau during the 2WW. Michel, Juste and Joséphine joined us for lunch after the apéritif républicain infront of the mairie. In the evening there was a splendid firework display and rather than bop the night away, we retired to the bar for a wee glass of wine.
