Renoir

I subscribe to the ‘France today’ digital magazine. It provides lots of helpful articles about what’s current in France, and provides me with useful information about places and events we could visit. This month it was really nice to see a local event to us, in the pretty village of Essoyes, being featured. The article introduced it as ‘A lovely little village in southern Champagne that was the summer home of the Renoir family for many years—and is the burial place of the painter, his wife, and their three sons.’ The event will see local people dressing up in the costume of the period, a demonstration of ancient crafts and will feature a ‘dance hall’. It looks like a fun event which we will make time to visit.

You can visit the website here if you would like to learn more about the event, or explore other articles in the magazine.
