Shame about the disco music - never stopped us dancing, but it's always good to be able to sing along! @Sablonneuse: Indeed, we love these village occasions - that sense of community is exactly what we hoped we'd find when we came here. @KevinD: Yeah the food was beautiful – really nicely done and plenty of it!

Our experience is more geared to the older generation but I have noticed that French dances are not very much like English ones. Their waltz is more at Viennese speed, there's another dance midway between a foxtrot and a quickstep but i haven't fathomed out the pattern of the steps and then there's the Tango which bears absolutely no resemblance to the one I learned!

Not that it is bad, if they played the decent 80's stuff - but they don't! Food looked great :) I should have told you re French party music – not yet been to one with anything played apart from Euro 80’s.
