In this
charming town of St Pons there is a lively pig festival - where you
can enjoy eating any part of a pig. This year there was even a bit
of cajun music with a band from the US. In the autumn there is an
equally exuberant Chestnut Festival. Food is one of the fine things
in life that the French savor with zeal
