This is a bit off our patch but the World Sheep Shearing Championships are being held in Le Dorat next July (2019) starting on July 4 for several days.
The reason I mention it here is because I can see a massive business opportunity for B&B/gite and bar/restaurant owners as the organisors are expecting 30,000 visitors (you read that right) on top of the 300 professional shearers. Oh....and 5,000 sheep play a key part. But they won't need beer or overnight rooms.
Details are all over the interweb for those interested in following this through.....which translates as I can't be bothered to put a link in.
