Jazz and a lovely party by the riverside

jazz on the quai

The mairie had organised a jazz performance on the quai on friday night. As the weather forecast was for a beautiful summer evening our friends decided to throw a dinner party in their garden overlooking the river.

We were all greeted with a glass of champagne and gathered in the garden to catch up with those we already knew and to make new acquaintances. It was a bit of a multicultural gathering represented by France , Australia , Canada,  China, and Thailand .

The sun set around nine o’clock and we sat down at a very long table on the terrace just as the band began to play.

Wonderful food, lots of wine and a convivial atmosphere all to the sounds of New Orleans style jazz just close enough to enjoy without interfering with conversation.

What an inspired idea this evening was. Thank you to Thida and Eric.

If you'd like the idea of staying at Thida and Eric's house, they have two gites available for holidays
