P.S. So Michael, did you make it to Fete de la Chasse? We stayed away
this year, but I did miss the horn blowing competitions.

My response will either serve to inform you or convey my honest resume.
My computer-screen is mostly black and does not give me indications on
how I should handle the question.

I just list some facts and leave out others. So you can guess.
1) 9€ entry-fee 2) Meals are at about 21€.
3) We wanted to go there to meet *people* in the most general sense, but
points 1) and 2) made us reconsider. There would not be people in the
most general sense...

Not hoping to make myself obscure, but neither French nor English are my
mother-languages. Have mercy.



Actually you've acquitted yourself extremely well. "Convey my honest
resume" is pretty good even for an confirmed language potentate...
(Not myself, certainly.)

There are a lot of tickets floating around, we haven't paid for years and
I suspect this is true for much of the local population. Interested to
know the price as we wondered about it this year. As for eating there,
not recommended at any price. Still there are some good deals to be done
on hats, boots, weatherproof clothing in general etc.

So there will be many "people" there, but as in any very large festival
(I think there were 100,000 last year) whether you'll have much chance
for meeting anyone is an open question!

Since you're local, if you'd like to have various maples, let me know.
I've lots of Japanese (Acer palmatum), Amur (Acer ginalla) or Snakebark
(Father David's maple, Acer davidii) which I could send your way...
