La Fête des voisins

May is the month to celebrate with your neighbours in France a "Fête des voisins" is a fantastic opportunity to have a great time with neighbours you know well and build relations with those you may not often see.

Our tiny hamlet of Paimbu held our fête on the 28th May and was a real success. One of the small lanes was temporarily closed, tables were laid, a BBQ was lit and most of the inhabitants of the hamlet came with lots of enthusiasm to enjoy the evening. As the evening progressed, the BBQ became a camp fire around which many of us sat into the early hours sharing tales and experiences of living in our neighbourhood. A real night to remember!
