Street Gardens of Port Sainte Foy


the streets are filled with hanging baskets

Today is officially the first day of summer here and the sun has come out and the temperature is up to 30 deg C so it must be true.







I took a walk around the block to show you what the local commune workers have been making through the winter ( and it has been a long wet one this year) to decorate the little gardens on street corners around the village.

swallows in flight ?



For some reason  “birds”  are again the theme.  Last year it was bird houses, the year before it was wicker birds.






This year someone has been very clever with metal.

and we have done our bit to help decorate the street again

We are looking forward to the annual Repas sur le Pont (dinner on the bridge) on 1st July. It will be the tenth so a milestone worth celebrating.  The weekend vide greniers and brocante markets are back in full swing and the marchés gourmands (night dinner markets) started again last week in villages all over the area. And, of course, the motorhomes have arrived on the roads en masse.  Yes, it must be summer.



La vie est bonne
