Prizegiving

It is the tradition on the 14th of July to play petanque or boules.   With the village of Viserny in the background the new school building has the most perfect flat sandy meeting place. 

Mimi waiting for others to arrive for the 7pm aperitif.


 This year we were invited by the municipality to decorate an useful object
in the patriotic colours.  There was an interesting selection of objects presented.   A ladder, basket, bicycle and
I made a little bag and decorated it in bleu blanc rouge of course.


Paris Match with the General de Gaulle and the Queen - this entry was brought by our newly arrived British couple in the village.   A prize was won



The children played games, while others chased the cochonet.



And we all enjoyed a great meal.  Vive la France et bon appetit.
