Many French people believe that the year actually starts now, as schools re-open and the holidays are over. Every story seems to be linked to la rentrée, yet here in the country it also means that many of the amenities we have enjoyed over the last two months come to an end. Shops which were opened on an "ephemeral" basis are now closed; shops which were open all week now reduce their hours; festive events are few and far between.
But the monthly book swap will be on at the Gazpacho in St Antonin as usual, from 10.30am, the concert at Puycelsi will be next Sunday and a few villages will still have their fetes (St Projet next weekend).
So we dont need to wait 10 months to continue our cultural life, la rentrée is not just back to work, life goes on!
