Keynsham » Libourne Previous Exchange

In September 2008, a group of 17 members visited Libourne. Some of the highlights were:

  • A trip to Talmont-sur-Gironde and Royan on the coast, some members even braving the chilly seas!
  • A picnic, as only the French can do. This was held in a barn owing to the inclement weather with contributions from all the French hosts. The food just kept coming!
  • A day in the Dordogne area. We visited the Village Le Bournat which brings back to life the buildings and crafts of the 1900s in a graphic way and caves at Proumeyssac.
  • Visit to a barrel making factory and a wine tasting at Pomerol.
  • Visits to Bordeaux.
  • Farewell meal, hosted by Libourne’s mayor Gilbert Mitterrand.
