PaulT Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Thanks Val - but that is for 2008.Would think it will be around the same time this year so will be back in the UK.Will need to plan to be there in 2010Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val douest Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Sorry Paul - it was in such big type I missed it! Anyway, the following entry in the Daily Telegraph's "things to do in France' gives the date, and other references seem to indicate it is usually the second weekend in August so you should be able to plan for next year.France: events and festivals in 2009 (Daily Telegraph 3rd Feb 2009)No. 38. If you have a talent for imitating the various cries of the pig, or for eating black pudding very quickly, book into the Pig Festival on Aug 9 at Trie-sur-Baise, north-east of Tarbes (www.pourcailhade.com). There are points for both, and points mean prizes. Be warned, however: competition is international and tough. Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini_man Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Slightly off topic but if anyone is interested in la fête du cochon -here are pics of our village affair: http://tinyurl.com/dfgkdg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulT Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks Val.Anyone know of a festival imitating chickens - seems that when I have had too many I go in to chicken imitation mode. [:D]Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Âme Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 P2, you've just missed the championnat de France du cri du coq in Trie-sur-Baise. It was part of the fete de l'oeuf over Easter weekend. [:)]http://www.fetedeloeuf.fr/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulT Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Typical - we were in France on the 11th - did not travle back until the 12th.Certainly will have to plan our trips in 2010 on what is going on in Trie.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
