Fetes des Battages

Earlier this month Antigny held its annual 'Fetes des Battages' which is an annual celebration for the end of the harvest. Ploughing competitions, procession of ancient tractors exhibition of old tools and agricutural implements, poultry sales, dog obedience displays, classic cars rally etc etc. The highlight of the event for us was a microlite flight (in three machines as they could only take one passenger each) over the fete and managing to persuade my pilot to fly over our house and view it from the air. The day ended with a meal and dancing with it all coming to a close at about 3am!!
