Sainte-Foy-la-Grande

While strolling in the heart of the ancient medieval city, you will be able to discover the vestiges of the medieval ramparts, and the mansions of the XVIII^e century.

Built in the 12th century and enlarged in the 17th and 19th centuries, the Notre-Dame church is worth a visit, as is the Protestant church on rue Louis-Pasteur.

Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, the Temple tower is now listed as a Historic Monument. It is part of a strong house of the same period that, according to legend, belonged to the Knights Templar. The ground floor is now occupied by a restaurant.

The town of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande is also the starting point of the GR6 hiking trail that connects Aquitaine to the French Alps, to Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye.

On the banks of the Dordogne, one can also learn fishing, canoeing or leisurely stroll in the sun.

A local farmers' market is held every Saturday morning. A Night Country Producers Market is also offered on Thursdays between July and August. At the end of the year, the town offers a Christmas market with entertainment.

At the beginning of August, there will be a celebration of the river and wine with tastings, sports activities, a fishing contest, games and fireworks.

• Hautes définitions is a moment to share, where you'll learn (a little) while being entertained (mostly) by deliciously absurd, funny and derisory words, taken from an "Abécédaire inutile en soi, mais distrayant pour les autres" written by Guillaume Malagnoux, in the tradition of the pinching humor of the master of the genre, Pierre Desproges. - Sweeping through the alphabet, this Abécédaire takes the dust off the genre by playing with words, juggling with skill and subtlety with seriousness, folly, didacticism and irony. - Carried by two passionate and tenderly awkward lecturers, these texts, sometimes acidic, sometimes light, sometimes caustic, sometimes tender, will always surprise you, often make you smile, sometimes make you think ? - with jules mona and guillaume malagnoux from the company Les Porteurs D'Histoire - Written and directed by Guillaume Malag

• Purely contemplative, Castro Camera ? S music evokes landscapes unfolding endlessly beneath the cottony scroll of our spleen-like ramblings. This is music that develops endless loops of nostalgia ; if you close your eyes, you'll go far away, even if each track evokes something very specific, your encephalic contemplation will discover many other perspectives or nebulous horizons. - The reference to photographer and activist Harvey Milk (Castro Camera was the name of his camera store in San Francisco) might seem cumbersome, but it's actually more subtle here than it seems : the music of the Bordeaux-based band quickly proves to be more cerebral than militant, cinematographic and full of subliminal images. - Castro Camera flirts with the onirism of David Pajo or Songs : Ohia, and digs the delicate furrow of post rock…
