Les mains dans les poches

Our friend Marie was back in France for a few days, and she told us about a free concert that was happening in the little chapel of Saint Béline in Landreville. It featured a two person group called les mains dans les poches, or ‘hands in pockets’; a boy and girl duo. It sounded like a nice night out.

‘Chapelle Sainte Béline de Landreville’ is up a small path in the forest at the back of the village.

It’s a delightful little chapel, that has been recently restored, and is a beautiful venue for an intimate concert.

The group had a very interesting playlist for the evening with some favourites of mine including Lemon Tree, Tainted love and Hallelujah — it really was a journey through eras and genres, and all beautifully played, and sung, acoustically.

When the concert had finished we made our way outside for drinks, and a chance to catch up with our friend Marie, whose mum, Vicky, had organised the event.

What a wonderful night out and a pretty spectacular view.
