Judo Club St. Céré Judo Club Celebrate
40 Years The day consisted of bouts by the young members until, that is, in a surprise move, instructors Christian Boutonnet and Emmanuel Berge pounced on the watching parents and cajoled them onto the mat to take part... mostly as victims of the unequal combat! Fortunately lunch intervened and sanity returned.... until the afternoon
session, that is, when further punishment was meted out to both kids
and parents, as a demonstration of expert unarmed combat floored one
and all! |

New Suburb
St. Céré Building Boom As the picture shows, some of the houses are now at roof level, as the St. Céré urban sprawl creeps inexorably up the hill from St. Céré, on the Leyme road out of town. |

True Grit
VO Version - English Languiage Fortunately, the Robert Doisneau cinema in Biars is a bit more adventurous and every month or so they will screen an English language film. We will bring you news of these Version Originale (VO) screenings as and when. The latest Version Original (V.O.) movie coming to Biars, is True Grit, a story of vengence set in the wild west of 1870. A superb remake of the 1969 John Wayne classic, this version, in which the newcomer Hailee Steinfeld received an Oscar nomination, stars Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon. To view the trailer - click the image below. To read a review over on the French News Online Culture Section, click this link.

Have You Seen My Boyfriend!
We had occasion to be in Padirac the other day, so took the opportunity to see how the new owners of Insectopia were getting on with their renovation plans. It is plain to see that Rob and Theresa have had a very busy winter and have transformed the place, re-bugged it and have declared it open for the summer season. It is fascinating... no really... no matter what you think about bugs, I defy you not to get involved as you peer into the displays. And, yes, Praying Mantis do talk... they can prove it. Best listen to the female of the species though... that's our advice! Insectopia, opposite the Gouffre de Padirac. Now open Further details: www.insectopia.fr See also latest blog. Ed |

Lunch in Lavergne Straight-off, it was obvious the place was open... the car park was packed with artisan vehicles. Always a good sign of good food and good value in these parts.
In we walked at the height of the lunchtime service and with no reservation. No worries, for from the moment genial host, Dutchman Pim showed us to a table, we could not have been made more welcome. Home-made minestrone with parmesan to sprinkle and bread to dunk... a generous slice of home-made bacon and tomato quiche, roast pork and crisp, sauté potatoes, cheeseboard, a yoghurt pud with raspberry coulis, coffee and red wine all for 12.50 euros. Magic. Can't recommend it enough. Go... but, be warned, don't plan to do too much in the afternoon after lunch! Reservations: 05.65.38.76.02 |
