Our monthly fun filled calendar of events and activities.
Coffee mornings, book discussions, bridge, forums, rambles, etc are all on our"Activities" page Despite mad March winds, April showers and chillier than normal weather, AGLR ramblers thawed out during Ole Pedersen’s 4-hour hike to L'Arboretum de l'Espaze, while Peter Clark helped others warm up and adjust their swings on the Fontcaud golf course. For those preferring a more temperate indoors climate, Sheila Chesterton organised the second monthly luncheon in Montpellier and Bénédicte Pastourel helped would-be chefs conquer the art of French cooking.
