2011-08-05 Fete l’Ail Rose Lautrec (Pink Garlic festival at Lautrec)

We went to this fete for the first time with our friends Cheryl and Roger, it is held on the first Friday of each August, and hoped to buy our ‘years’ supply of the pink garlic for which this town is famous.

Firstly some pictures of the town of Lautrec……….(as in the famous ‘two-loos Lautrec’) here there were four…….its a Dave joke !!!
