Celts (etc) in France

Part of the Festival of Saint John in Perpignan involved giant dancing puppets, morris dancers, and bagpipes!  How eclectic can you get?

Feeling French

Things that make you feel French:
- opening the bedroom window shutter in the morning
- watching swallows swirl in the twilight
- becoming even pickier about bread
- tasting cherries at the open air market
- realizing that field is not full of corn
- fields of wheat, sunflowers, poppies, grape vines
- listening for, and understanding, your train announcement
- spreading pâté on a crispy, springy slice of bread
- cheese on pear slices
- drinking wine all the time
- drinking café au lait with breakfast, but black coffee after lunch
- ordering a lunch with no clue what it is, and then discovering chicken on your plate
- holding 10 euros in your hand, all from different countries
- walking down Victor Hugo Avenue
- going into a bathroom, seeing a man washing his hands, and passing a woman coming out of a stall
