Dominique Erbani, French rugby player

“I was born in La Rouquette, a tiny commune attached to Eymet and today I live in Agen.When I return to my native village to visit my family and friends, I still love going for walks around the little streets. Because of the British input, the village has come on a lot. I notice that there’s always something happening. I used to go to the Café de Paris when I was young and it’s still there. Some things never change!” “Some things never change”

A LITTLE BACKGROUND

Since the 15th of August 1998, large numbers of gourmets get together to drink registered white wine with seafood at the Annual Eymet Oyster Festival. The celebration starts in the morning and finishes with a ball, late at night. More than 3,000 meals are served over the weekend: seafood platters, oysters and mussels farmed by oyster aquaculturists from Marennes-Oléron and Arcachon Bay, who come to join the local vintners.

British Mood

Whether settled in at the Pub or the Café de Paris, our British friends set the tone for a festive mood: live music, rebroadcasts of rugby matches, beer and fish & chips. Both nationalities are united when it comes to having a good time.
