It is cherry season here in Languedoc and after much publicity in the local papers, we decided to see what happened at Fête de la Cerise in Trausse Minervois.
We arrived to the sound of a Banda playing in the village square. This was followed by speeches given by the local dignitaries. At the end of the acknowledgements, everyone was invited to the apéros, as usual, which had been donated by the local vignerons. After easing our way through the crowd, we managed to find a glass of wine, ate a selection of saucisson sec, hams and pork scratchings, all of which went very well with the variety of wines that we sampled.

The colours and smells of the fête were lovely.
There are some beautiful, little villages in the region and the fêtes that are held in them gives us an opportunity to see some some of them that we wouldn’t normally have known about.
