As part of the commemerations, a special tea towel has been created. It is made of high quality cotton and is white with blue printing.

Castillonnes 750 years old this year


As you know, I was born in the youngest country in the world, which is how they are promoting New Zealand at present around the world so it is a little surreal when the village that you live in is celebrating it's 750th anniversary.




Hence Castillonnes is getting ready to party this year and we have a lot of events taking place including music concerts in the square and also medieval banquets complete with costumes. My very lovely and patient French teacher's husband (Didier) has taken a series of photographs which are going to be used as part of the 750th program.




The one that I sharing with you today is my favourite, I am sure that you will agree.

Merci beaucoup Didier, c'est super!
