https://www.churchinaquitaine.org/A friendly way to start the weekend! Come as you are, no need for a partner. Scottish Country Dance ranges from very easy dances to mind-challenging ones. The two hours start off with all-level teaching (aimed primarily at beginners), then move on to intermediate and advanced.
Teaching is in French, but every formation is walked through even if you don’t speak French - and many in the group will be happy to speak English.
Every Friday at 7pm from September to June. Check our website for precise dates and times and also updates on our tariffs.

The British community in France, and particularly our Military associations, have been granted the honour of being the first non-French nationals permitted to hold a ceremony at this “Haut lieu de la Mémoire Nationale”. Mont Valérien is the location for the annual ceremony of the “Appel du 18 juin 1940” by General de Gaulle, which is presided by the French President.
Libre Résistance has assembled a number of associations and the ambassadors from the 10 nations that made up the SOE F-Section and will hold a ceremony to honour the role played by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) in the French Resistance. We are expecting to have approximately 200 veterans, guests and participants from numerous associations/clubs. Visit Mont Valérien 14h45 Wreath laying clarière 16h00 SOE Ceremony 16h30 Cocktail party 17h30
S.O.E., the Special Operations Executive, was a British secret service formed in July 1940 – soon after the fall of France – to foster resistance among the civil population in Nazi-occupied Europe and promote sabotage and subversion. Winston Churchill inspired the formation of S.O.E. From 1941 until 1944, F Section trained and infiltrated 429 agents into France, who ran 75 networks with over 30,000 local French resistance members.

https://www.libreresistance.com/frThis is the traditional annual ceremony which brings us together at the foot of the Memorial of Valençay where we pay homage to the memory of all our departed comrades, and in particular, to the memory of the 104 agents of F Section who lost their lives on operations or died in the Nazi concentration camps.
This is followed by a cocktail party at the Mairie and then lunch at the Orangerie du Chateau de Valencay. This is the 35th anniversary of the unveiling by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and the 85th anniversary of the parachute drop of the first agent, Georges Begué on 6th May 1941.
