Le Bon Air est dans Les Caves

'Le Bon Air est dans les Caves' means so much more than 'the good air is in the cellars'. It has a whole depth of meaning of good time, well-being, ambience, etc. It is the slogan used to advertise the Cahors Wine Festival which we went to last night.

It's a couple of years since we went to the festival and so we took Betty (who's holidaying with us) to experience the 'bon air'.

The Festival is held in a small village nestling on a hill above the Lot river. It is shut off for the festival and becomes a place for sampling wine and listening to music.

As you can see, we took a folding chair with us for Betty, and this provoked a number of comments from other people who would have liked to sat on it!

As well as the wine and the music, it was a brilliant opportunity to people watch!
