Exciting moment as they put the barriers in place for our own personal festival. I put claim to it because even though the events are spread among 5 local villages it always opens with a little concert on the steps of the Rue Del Catet which runs just by the side of our house and , consequently the name of this ruelle is included in the title of the festival.They put cushions on the steps and offer chairs about the top (It runs so close to our house that we have become a sort of unoffical green room for the artistes appearing as well as providing a branchement for the electrics and frequently a forgotten chair and even once umbrellas for a string quartet to protect their precious instruments during an unexpected shower.)This year, they will be playing for the first time with a background of our new Trompe l’Oeil and the concert is performed by Les Arties Chamber Orchestra performing works by Telemann,Mozart, Schubert and Dohnányi. This is truly one of our highlights, get here if you can, the concert is free ! Tomorrow Morning, tomorrow,Sunday 24th at 11.30.
