Strategically timed for just before Christmas the food and wine fair staged in the events venue Acropyla at La Roche Posay is a great place to try delicacies from other parts of France as well as local treats. It is one of those events which is free to enter, but if you want to taste wine you buy an engraved souvenir glass in a little carry bag for €5 at the door. I didn't bother because I wasn't in the market for wine and it was before lunch on Saturday when I went.

 |
| 'Our' Ukrainians had a stall selling their homemade baked goods and handcrafts, to raise money to aid Ukraine. That's Irina and Svitlana on the stall. |
 |
| A ewes milk cheese producer from Ossau-Iraty. One of our favourite cheeses, and one of our favourite places in the world. I had a nice chat with him and bought a substantial chunk of his cheese. We might visit his farm in June when we are in the Pyrenees. |
 |
| Goats milk cheese from closer to home, Saint Saveur, near Chatellerault. |
 |
| My friend Martine tastes Vouvray wine, with her husband, a friend and the winemakers looking on. |
