Classified as a monument
historique since 2005, the
subventions are not enough to pay for necessary renovating.

an opération mécennat on July 28, to raise interest in
financially supporting the works. Contributions are
tax deductable.

This year’s sixth Printemps
des Bastides in Monpazier
was a Scottish Day. The
Claymor Clan pipes and
drums marched through the
town. There were talks on
bagpipes, the history of tartans
and kilts and the making of
whisky. Attendees learnt about
the local equivalent of the
Loch Ness Monster–a dragon
called Coulobre de La Linde
which lives in the Dordogne
river. Whisky tasting and
dancing displays (Scottish
and local) completed the
event in the 13th-century
Bastide square.
