We have been every year since we lived here but had almost decided to give the Laguépie chestnut fair a miss this year. We went to the brocante at Caussade but it was disappointing and we didn't stay long, so as we were out enjoying the sunshine we drove on to Laguépie.
We were pleased we had made the effort too. A good crowd had turned out and there was a great atmosphere and lots going on.
One star of the show as usual is the La Guepe - the old bus which is being restored by the retro vehicle enthusiasts. After many years of painstaking work it's now nearing completion and the wooden frame work for the main body of the bus is beautiful work.
Lunch was unconventional, a bag of freshly roasted chestnuts, a plate of charcuterie washed down with a beer in the sunshine - when at a chestnut fair ..........!
