week eighteen

by yelt

It seemed to be a week for festivals! First I attended the ‘Arts et Festins du Monde’ festival in Gardanne along with some friends. We had a great time trying food (like ‘lulas recheadas’) and drink (like ‘Ti’punch’) from all over the world and dancing along to the live Taarab music. Then there was the sixty-seventh ‘Festival de Cannes’, which was buzzing with people who were either dressed up to the nines, wearing a lanyard round their neck, or holding a camera in their hand. There was a ‘bonne ambiance’, and although we didn’t spot any famous film stars, we got to see people rolling out the red carpet.
