Lunch out in rural Brittany. At 12.05 all the tables (some 120 covers) were taken and kir with hot smoked salmon pastries being enjoyed by all.
Today, a table of 32 family and friends were celebrating a christening, and like us were enjoying a similar meal as us, crevettes and oysters, followed by duck a la creme, then cheese and finally creme brulee accompanied by a very fine bottle of red wine !!
Whilst we were enjoying our coffee and cherry brandies, one of the christening party started to play the accordion and Monsieur le Marie began to sing a very popular Breton song. With much clapping and foot tapping the tables and chairs were moved to the edges of the restaurant, and we were shunted against the wall. Soon most of the restaurant guests, many of whom were nothing to do with the christening party were forming a circle and enjoying the very fast precise foot movements and straight backed breton dancing.
The accordion kept playing, Monsieur ls Marie kept singing and the guests kept dancing......
