FEUX D'ARTIFICE



The fireworks in the village were a little less dramatic than in the past. We had a leisurely dinner with the Willis' and Lucien and Denise from the North. Mr. Willis made barbecue on his new Weber Kettle. He grilled merquez and shrimp as an appetizer. His pièce-de-resistance was a perfectly grilled leg of lamb.

After dinner we wandered down to the river for the big show. It was already quite dark. The show started almost as soon as we found a place to sit on the wall. It lasted for about 20 minutes and there wasn't really a grand finale. We did enjoy it though. Afterwards we wandered around the crowded main square where there was a live band and dancing.
