MEET ROSEMARY BAILEY WHO WILL BE THERE TO CHAT ABOUT AND SIGN COPIES OF HER POPULAR BOOK ’LOVE AND WAR IN THE PYRENEES’
The atmosphere promises to be warm and hospitable, Kate and Jane will be there to welcome you and it will be a chance to look around the latest trendy hotel in Perpignan, meet up with old friends and make new ones.
All in all a great way to start your Christmas, to entertain yourselves and your guests, and to tidy up those last minute Christmas needs. Even more important is the fact that a percentage of the day’s takings will be going to two very worthwhile charities, CSF, a charitable association which aims to provide support for English speaking people living in the Aude, Ariège or Pyrénées-Orientales who are affected by cancer, and the Association Oscar Wilde in Toulouse, helping to buy equipment for children with brain tumors
The Fauceille Hotel is next door to the Clos de Lys restaurant on the Fauceilles Road running parallel with the express way between the Auchan roundabout and the Mega Castillet roundabout.
