Ticket pricing looks like we can do as many days as we like, just pay for the number of them. Best to book anyway, from Feb 1st, pay on arrival. Cash & Travelers Cheques only it says.

I'm hoping for Bourréed treasure

Thanx Jack, any other comments?

People I know who've been to it say it's so huge and busy you can easily make an arrangement to meet somebody and never find them.

A working mobile would be a good idea.

Les Grands Bal de l'Europe
July 21 to Aug 4th. (St Gervais week now in Gennetines)

Looks like I will be there for the first 7/8 days.
The consolidation of week 2 - does that mean tickets will be Fri to Thurs?
Apart from the dancing going on into the "wee small hours" is there anything I should note before I set out.
I don't want too many surprises that far from base, driving on the wrong side of the road, speaking ne parle plus une petit pas if you see what I mean. I will have a Francophone (ish) with me but.......

I have asked them a question, let us see how they reply.

Any suggestions?
