To The Escargolade

Something particular to France- an Escargolade, or snail festival.

Everyone gets together, listens to really awful musicians try to play music
and eat snails with fries, whilst catching up on the local gossip.

Ste Colombe is just up the road from us here at Camont,
so we wandered up for festivities.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful night
with a more stunning view of the surrounding countryside.

It seems that every really good, French meal includes "frites" or fries.
And rightly so, they are REALLY good, especially dipped in the
traditional spicy French mustard.

So, this guy goes into the shop and buys a little Volkswagon Beetle.
He asks the dealer if he can get an 'S' painted in the side.
When the dealer looks at him strangely and asks why, the
guy answers, "so that when people see me drive down the street they say-
Look at that S car go!"

Bon nuit Ste Colombe.
