Fête du Pain (Bread Fete) in Terrié

On Sunday 30 June the village of Terrié in the Catus commune had a Fête du Pain organised by the local Association les 4 Vents (the 4 winds). The event was attended by some 80 people who enjoyed a hearty meal of roasted meats, potatoes and courgettes gratin, melon, cheeses and a free flow of wine. The highlight was of course the baking of bread by our local baker Jimmy Breton in a traditional stone oven. After the meal we took a short walk to a well which has been lovingly restored by the inhabitants of Terrié.
