Villages of Perigord

“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!”

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.

“Some things never

change”

British Mood

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.
