As every year, our neighbour planned his fireworks for July, usually around the 14th if possible. However, the drought this year caused a lot of disruption and bans were in place for simple things like parking your car in non-tarmac'ed areas or drinking alcohol in public... or in this case... even more dangerous... fireworks.
So it was all postponed and it was then done on the 3rd of October. If I understand this right, he also celebrated the 10 year aniversairy of their holiday home, so we had a lovely 15min of an amazing fireworks display in cooperation with our daughter's school, which sold some drinks to help funding the pupils' education.
If you ever feel like visiting the area with a large group, you should have a look at their gîte (linked on the main page, no commission) or if you feel like helping with some of the funding for the local school, feel free to get in touch with the support group on Facebook (Sou des écoles de Thézillieu).
