Encore ...

... which means more ... more culture that is!

In our next village, which can have no more than 200 inhabitants, a concert was held early evening in the church.  A choir from Le Havre was 'on tour'.  We went along, for the price of a donation, and experienced an excellent concert of sacred music, old and contemporary, with also the final section accompanied by a really good harpist.  Astonishing quality of music in a very small church in rural France!

But, the event didn't end there!  At the end of the concert, the Mayor gave a speech of thanks and then invited everyone to the Salle de Fete, (village hall) for a glass of something.  So, opposite the church,

the Salle de Fete.  However, passing in through the open door,

was the incredible swish, modern hall!  Sue couldn't get over how modern and stylish were the toilets!  We were given a glass of wine and nibbles and we spent an enjoyable hour talking to the performers.

This is one of the reasons why we love living in France.
