Bastille Day in a Poitou village
Very different from urban celebrations: no military parade, but war memorial ceremony, municipal aperitif, sometimes concert or dance, and a modest but warm fireworks display. Morning flea market opens this conviviality-themed day.
Lusignanais: between Clain and Charente
South-west Vienne region, with Lusignan as historic capital. Castle country (Lusignan famed for Mélusine legend and medieval past), Haut-Poitou vineyards, authentic villages.
