Vinsobres celebrates Bastile Day on the 13th, with a pistou (bean soup), steak and ice cream feast in the salle de fete. Serves of the pistou are plentiful, and the 14th July is always a very windy day in Vinsobres.
The guy in black is a Parisean journalist. On the right is Adam, and Jan and Bob from Hertfordshire.
More locals at the feast.
And more
Trevor looking uncharacteristically affirmative.

Cathy and Val's enthusiasm could only be described.
There seemed to be wine and food involved. Was the large wine container there this year?

Well done, Dave. You have been practising. Did they have fireworks in the cemetery this year? Who made friends with the digger for me?
ReplyDeleteCathy and Val look as if they have had enough wine. Wonderful photo.
