Last night was the annual town meeting chaired by the Mayor. It was in the local salle de fete which is a converted barn with exposed stone, tiled floors and huge steel and glass windows. The whole town council was there, and I would guess 2 to 300 citizens of Olonzac. Not bad when there are only 1700 citizens in total and there was snow on the ground. Subjects included the beautification of principal boulevard, scheduled for this year, making it more pedestrian friendly and improving the outside terraces for the cafes and restaurants.

Fingers crossed, the golf course just outside of town will get planning permission within a few months  and will start in the fall or next spring as will the regeneration of the boulevard in front of Jardin de Charlotte. New traffic control measures are proposed to keep heavy traffic out of the center, slow it down and generally making travel by foot and bicycle  more secure . Olonzac is on the way up! It deserves to be. This is a beautiful part of the world.
The snow? That's a rare thing here and lasted for an entire day. The sun is back and everything has melted.
