National Day in France is commemorated on July 14, with celebrations on the 13th also. Lectoure hosted a community dinner on the rugby field last evening, the 13th at 8 pm, with fireworks following at 11 pm. We had dinner with friends on the terrace of Chateau Mons, with the chef barbecuing throughout the evening. The weather was perfect!
We drove home, arriving at 10 minutes to 11, went up to the balcony and enjoyed the fireworks.
