erstwhile slayer of demons.
Because his feast day is on Monday,
the weekend is given over to celebration.
Tonight in the square there is a Grand Bal with
Calysta (www.calystamusic.com) starting at
22.30.
Tomorrow, after the spectacle at 18h in the square
(ooh what will be??) there is another Grand Bal with a band
variously billed as Mister Jones or Mister John.
On Sunday the Grand Bal is with Orchestre Gerard Rouanet
and if you aren't knackered before hand you can danse from
17h the Tango, Valse, Paso and Rock.
This event is taken seriously and generally worth watching,
though it should be remembered that it always rains for St
Micheals day.
More importantly, there is a vide grenier on Sunday -
Here is a picture of St Micheal in a miniskirt absent mindedly
spearing a demon who looks uncomfortably like my dear dog.
Tillings church, which the saint graces, is named for him.
And the steps of the Mairée has the towns emblem which features
TWO St Micheals, just to be on the safe side. Possibly rowing
a little snake boat.
I've no idea what we have done to gain his protection.
Does anyone else know?
