Tuesday was the 11th November and remembrance day. A good turn out from the village, some with medals, (wish we had worn ours now) with a walk from the mayor's office to the church where flowers were layed and a minutes silence observed.
Muster at the mayor's at 1130 to march off the guard of honour.
The kids from the local infant school sing "Ode to Joy" and then the last post is played by the bugler.
The guard of honour march off back to the Mayor's office. 
The flowers laid at the remembrance stone. The inscription says "To the children of St Potan who died in the 1914-18 & 1939-45 war. Also Indochina and Algeria"Then everyone back to the "salle de fetes" for a glass of vino, and for those who paid a meal of blanquette de veal.
We retired to Rene's Cafe...sorry..Bruno's for a quick drink.
