Spoilt for choice, it’s Party season here with a capital ‘P’, ‘Les Fetes’ in the beautiful Tarn, every village, town and hamlet offers ‘la Fete’, you really are spoilt for choice.
Last night I chose the Quai Saint Jacques at Gaillac, a lovely spot I know well.
I’ve painted there several times, most notably the meticulously researched historic reconstruction “Port of Gaillac 1863” and have several as yet unborn ideas in mind to two new gaillac paintings.
What ever, a beautiful ambience prevailed while most of the musique this year, and good it was too, was Arab/French and Afro-Caribbean.
Thank you Association du Quai Saint Jacques 
Quai Saint Jaques, Gaillac
Many of the groups are supported by the region as a ‘quality of life’ thing. 
Vive la France ! people here know how to party!
Meanwhile I’m considering two new paintings of this part of Gaillac and I’ve an idea for Saint Tropez, famous for it’s classic yacht regatta in September, parties and Brigette Bardot way down on the cote d’azur.
Next on my list though, The Gaillac Wine Festival, 3 to 5 August.
