The "Chaiz' tival" at Issigeac

Sunday, May 3

On Sunday, Issigeac was the venue for an innovative new event: A chair festival. Anyone could collect a chair from the Information Centre, go to a specified spot somewhere in the village and decorate the chair in any way they wished. A map was available with the 30 spots where the artists were at work and in this clever way you got to discover every lovely little street in the village -- as well as some very talented artists. The chairs were then auctioned off at 5pm -- half of the proceeds going to the village visitors' centre and half ro the artists.
