C'est la fête !
After the English Class yesterday we split into three groups, one group off to watch the rugby at the Griffins, one to a North African concert and me home to where my brother-in-law and sisters had been cleaning the drains with next-door's pressure washer. Jolly good !
There'd been an accident on line B, which was already struggling with the volume of people, so I walked to Victoire to use up some of the waiting time. The town centre had a real buzz, the buses all had little blue, white and red flags on and many people had painted flags on their faces. We were crammed into the tram like sardines, but on the way in people had been patient at best. Now they were jovial and excited.
I got in about 8h15, we ate and we settled down to watch the match - well, everyone else watched and I fussed and fidgeted. I don't find it easy to sit for two hours to watch a rugby match !
They'll have taken the flags off the buses overnight.

What a great opportunity to watch with your English class!
And, here too, the decorations came down pretty quickly.
