This is a bit off our patch but the World Sheep Shearing Championships are being held in Le Dorat next July (2019)  starting on July 4 for several days.

The reason I mention it here is because I can see a massive business opportunity for B&B/gite and bar/restaurant owners as the organisors are expecting 30,000 visitors (you read that right) on top of the 300 professional shearers.  Oh....and 5,000 sheep play a key part.  But they won't need beer or overnight rooms.

Details are all over the interweb for those interested in following this through.....which translates as I can't be bothered to put a link in. Whistle

Argh...... Doh

I didn't think this thread would turn into pun central.  It was intended to make accommodation owners aware of the opportunity of ramming their rooms full of paying guests. Whistle
