Spectacular weekend in Southern Touraine
27th & 28th July
This year the small village of Ciran in Southern Touraine puts on its amazing show around the theme of 'dance' for the second year in a row. You will be transported to many corners of the globe...in spectacular fashion. Centred around the little lake in the village the show will surprise you from beginning to end. As the title suggests, you will be introduced to the dances, whether Cuban or Japanese, Russian or Greek. A festive show that will delight the family audience we welcome every year.

There will be other things on today...
But for many here in France this will be the most important. To quote former Liverpool manager (and legend) "Someone once said to me 'to you football is a matter of life or death' and I said 'listen son, it's more important than that'."
