Everybody Party





This weekend was the beginning of the summer season in Cruzy. The season begins with the Cruzy Fete which is a huge party open to everyone in the village.

The main hall in the village hosts everything from the Rugby team celebrations to the afternoon activities for older residents. It’s a very well designed building with an indoor stage, which can become a large outdoor stage. The back wall opens up. The dance floor was popular when the Spanish songs came on and groups of small children had the floor to themselves during the pop songs.

Wine and water were on the table and food was cooked in the open air. The bar became very busy as the night progressed and live band played on into the night.

We met some new people this weekend and it was lovely to spend time with others living in Cruzy.

The following day was the Vide Granier. This is little like a car boot sale, but with class. Many items were on sale including a quad bike, radiators, 1940s US Willie Jeeps (well, 1) and a large assortment of candles, picture frames and Barbie dolls. I walked away with a tray for aperitifs and a small clock.
