The day after the opening of the Exposition we re-arranged the layout of the church to accommodate the concert coming in on Saturday night.  It was a concert by the famous violinist, Didier Lockwood and organised by “les concerts de poche”.

The church was “packed to the rafters” with a long waiting list for tickets.


It was a brilliant performance by Didier and I was totally mesmorised by his talent and ability to entertain the crowd for over 90 minutes using the theme of “improvisation”.  A high energy performance mixing classical, jazz and popular music.  Afterwards I had a chance to share a meal with friends, Didier and his team… A perfect end to the perfect evening…

I can’t believe how quickly the time goes by… Here I am back in Mirmande opening up the houses for the 2016 season.  Back in the village for only 10 days and already very active with the Haute Voltige Association.

On Friday  29th April we had the opening cocktails (vernissage), for the exposition we have organised at the Eglise Sainte-Foy which is situated at the top of the village.

The expo will run from 30 April until 29 May and features the paintings of Alain Signorini and sculptures of Alain Signorini and Jean-Claude Millet.

It was a fantastic evening, with delicious canapés and very good company!
