A new Emmaus opened at Montauban

 Ce 9 novembre ainsi que le 10 novembre (de 14 à 17 heures), jour de l’inauguration des nouveaux locaux montalbanais.
This Emmaus is on the Avenue de Toulouse at  Montauban.
Emmaus is a charity in France set up by L'abbe Pierre [died the year before last I think] It is a charity which aids the poor and homeless. Someone told us about it when we first came here and since then I have been a sort of regular visitor at the branch at Carmaux. It is especially good for white linen beautifully embroidered sheets which I use on the beds or as tablecloths. It sells everything one has in the home and I have bought many a garden table and chair. All the goods are donated so it is a bit like a huge Oxfam. Often I go with things to donate and come back with other things. Generally men hate it but us ladies appear to love 'ferreting' about
There is a branch of Emmaus at Villefranche de Rouergue which is near HyperU, up past the roundabout and behind a funeral parlour.It is open Friday afternoons 2.30 to 6pm.
