June, 21st, 2023  When all of France celebrates Music....  ( more videos I am afraid)

June 21st is the longest summer's day and a day for all France to celebrate Music.....Every town and small village puts on music of some sort for loacls on this day.    Now you have to understand- it can be any music- local bands to solo to serious musicans -to parties!!!  Its all in persuit of a fun night out....

Here are a variety of SOME of what we found in Beziers up in the main town squares.

First up a rap band - but we stayed to listen as they had an all girl wind back-up band accompanying him- As you can imagine -  (rap) ( with some swearing and little kids around -- not for us), so one beer was all we could manage.

 Decorated side streets.

The obligitorie town band.

Then through to another square and this group of guys playing Catalonian style.

After that we heard these drummers in a near by street and then onto a wine bar😀😀😀😀

The wine bar - as always and they were up for a long night!!!! 

 

mmm

Finally back through the main square and all the lit up flowers ( there for the whole summer now) and down through the park.

The Local Orchestra.

We can't believe this was only last week- time becomes blurred in this lazy heat and slow boat jouney from place to place...

Missed on last blogs -- we had a great night ( sadly only one) catching up with Grahame Vietch and wife Marie in Beziers- after they has been travelling Spain and on their way through to their boat in Auxerre.

And new boating friends met in Beziers, Paul and Claire ( on Sasika) , from Horsham although Paul has spent a lot of his life boating from Chichester marina.!!  Small small world.😂

SO THA'S ALL FOLKS----- TILL NEXT TIME..

sorry about all the vidoes.

It's a sad sad world!!!
