Pont Noir

Well, for the first time ever, we are going to spend ******* (please fill gap with preferred word - Christmas, Winter Solstice, Saturnalia, Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, my well earned week off) at our house in the north of the Creuse (and I am excited!) We are going for a low key approach - no flashing 'non-denominational illuminated decorations' climbing the wall etc. - but would like to buy some nice food or go out for a good lunch over the week before. Do the markets open as usual and are there any special events we should be looking out for? Any tips?

La Chatre Christmas market is on the 24th with father Christmas on parade between 1100 & 1200hrs & also you can take a photo with him between 1400 & 1700

Ooh- perfect!

um. at the risk of sounding a bit prissy about this can we remind you whose birthday Christmas is?
there is an international carol service advertised at Boussac church, this Friday I think. Is there a recognition signal for Pont Noir people?

Quite right Les Meuniers - I have amended the title and content of my original post to more accurately convey my request for information.

Spotted another one for those in North Creuse: Cluis Christmas Market - 23rd December, starting at 1500.

Happy Christmas to all readers and thanks for Pont Noir companionship and help this year.
Hope 2017 is better for all of us!

Looking for more ideas of places to go and things to see while we are in Creuse for the next two weeks. I have been looking forward to the break for ages!

Cluis 23/12 from 1500 - Marche de Noel

I have been looking info for north creuse/ Indre area, where did you see the info re Cluis pls

On a banner driving through Cluis a couple of days ago . Also a poster on the vet's window. There was one about another Christmas fair in Nouzerolles today but I was too late for that one.
