Fête weekends

Around this time of year, there is a Fête every weekend somewhere in the Gers. The one in our local village, Bezolles, took place recently and it follows a standard format each year, namely

Friday Evening: Lotto (a bit mad unless your French numbers are good !)

Saturday Morning : Fishing competition
Lunchtime: Aperitif and snacks for all the residents of the commune
Afternoon: Boules competition
Evening: Steak and chips supper, then a Disco

Sunday Lunchtime: More aperitifs !
Afternoon: More Boules !!
Evening: The Grand Dinner, followed by another Disco

The weather was good and there was plenty of friendly rivalry in the Boules competition, especially in the husband and wife section !!

One local village, St. Puy, is thinking of changing the date of its Fête as it always rains. The locals say it's because the village is really just called Puy (as it doesn't have a Saint at all), but the villagers at the time thought St. Puy sounded much nicer. Someone is obviously wreaking their revenge !
