If there is one thing the french love at christmas, it’s
lots of lights. No matter how small the village there will be special lights
draped across the streets in december , just to get you in the mood.

 |
| watch out for the shoppers ! |
We went for a walk through Bergerac one evening during
the week to check out « les illuminations ». As the sun sets
around 5.30pm at this time of year, this made an enjoyable stroll before
dinner.
Every street, pedestrian lane and square is ablaze with lights and christmas carols are playing in the background.
 |
| even the cathedral is in on the act |
Every little shop has the festive spirit.....
 |
| little animated christmas scenes |
 |
| every clothing store is decorated |
 |
| the Occitane snowman |
 |
| even the tea shop |
 |
| These little characters were automated and lovely to watch |
And so many chocolatiers.....
 |
| slightly scary looking snowmen |
Though the budget is small, even Ste Foy la Grande has made an effort at the christmas decorations...
and the theme this year is snowmen.....

Joyeux Noël et meilleurs voeux à tous
