On our last night in Saignon this trip, it was the 12th of July. France annually celebrates Bastille Day on the 14th, but this year the French team had a real shot in the World Cup and the final was on the 14th. So the towns and villages moved the celebration to the Saturday before. Saignon has a paella dinner, served in their municipal parking lot. With wonderful paella, cheap, plentiful and delicious Rose wine, beer and pastis. After the feast, and it was a feast, there was a pair of DJs and dancing under the stars. It was almost too much fun, What a way to leave Saignon!
Laura, a former waitress at Maison Solveig who has moved on to a better job. She came back for this.
Our little party of four at the table. Mary got ahold of my camera a lot that night.
Austin, Mary, Frederic and Betty
Our first of many dances.
A quick tango with Laura.
Happy spectators.
The Twist never left.
A bit later after Mary pushed a few buttons on the camera.
Dancing is hard work......but fun,
Doing the chicken dance. I shot enough French Canadian weddings in Vermont to even know the steps.
