When in Bagnoles, one does not go out for a drive to look at the neighborhood Christmas lights. So far we have seen no private houses decorated with outside lights. A few have a Santa in the yard or climbing up to the roof (I guess Santa does not have a permit for flying reindeer in France). The best way to see Christmas lights is to drive to each little town and see the town's lights. We drove to the nearby town of La Sauvagere to check out their lights. We got there at 5:00 and walked around until the lights came on at 5:30, by which time it was dark.

| The town Square |
There was music coming from a store in the town square playing Christmas music for all to hear. It took us a moment to realize that all the Christmas songs were in English. All evening they played American Christmas songs.
Since it was Sunday night, the square was very busy. People coming to church and others bringing their children to the square to see the decorations. A man was selling hot sausages on the corner. He stood over his open flame grill and did a wonderful business in the cold winter air.
Many of the towns decorate the roundabout that is usually at the entry to the town. Messei had the best roundabout.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
