St. Germain en Fete

We had arranged to go to the meal at the fete with a couple of friends, although this had then involved meeting up with some other English. So off we went to have a drink before the meal and found that we were following a strange trailer full of strange men in their Y-fronts!

We parked up and went to investigate and found ourselves in the middle of a mini-fiesta.

The group of locals were obviously part of the organisation of the fete and were determined to enjoy themselves. At the same time, they provided a lot of enjoyment for the spectators.

As the time for the meal approached, we went round the corner to find a table.

We didn't notice the evening getting darker because we were being serenaded by the 'Dede's Banda' and our Y-fronted friends.


Although the meal took a long time to get through it wasn't a problem as there was plenty of red wine to drink, and, when each course did come, it was very good; the paella was excellent, with lots of prawns, mussels, calamares and chicken. Throughout the meal, a large number of the Y-fronts were propping up the bar and singing songs which I expect were full of 'double-entendres'.

Once the meal was over the 'lads' set to and cleared away all of the tables and benches and the dancing began. DJ Fanu with Vero on the violin, and accompanying fire juggler! No expense spared.



What we really enjoyed was that the whole of this event was inclusive; whole families from small kids to grannies, and also some people in wheelchairs being danced by their pushers!

A lot of noise, a lot of fun, a lot of drinking and sore heads to come, but everyone is friendly, happy and only concerned with having a good time. And there are three more days of this!!!!
