Our New Dance Floor!

Now many people think Saint Saturnin Les Apt is a sleepy Provencal village, and for much of the year it is!
However in August we, like most French villages have our Fete Votive.
It is basically a village party, with seriously professional bands, gambling tables, bar etc and of course dancing.
It takes place the first weekend  and starts at 10 p.m., and finishes at 2 am on three consecutive nights  (Friday, Saturday & Sunday, )


Since January building work has been taking place to enlarge the surface  area, just for these three nights. It has been a huge feat of engineering and at goodness knows what cost.

Thank fully an enlarged workforce have come on stream this week for the final push and suddenly it looks like the new esplanade as they are calling it might just be finished in time!
