Moon rise at Les Bassacs
We have had a week of the mistral which brought the storm clouds from further north skidding over us at great speed and lowering the temperature. Yesterday evening the wind suddenly dropped, the clouds disappeared and we were treated to a spectacular full moon rising over the Perréal Hill, the site of an ancient fort (200 BC) occupied by the Vulgientes tribe.

Starlings
Congratulations to Jane Revitt, a Les Bassacs regular, who has just completed her flock of starlings land installation 'Swoop' at Blackley in Elland, to commemorate the start of the Tour de France in Yorkshire.
The flowing abstract representation of 560 starlings swooping across the hillside links the dramatic patterns made by the birds in their murmurations, with the movement of the cyclists’ peloton. Jane had a trip in a 2 seater airplane to view her work from above and emailed me this picture. Read more about the installation here.
The tour is passing below Les Bassacs on stage 15 which starts at Tallard in the Alpes de Haute Provence, with a finish opposite the magnificent Nimes Arena on Sunday July 20th. We will try to take some photos, though last time this happened the peloton passed by so quickly it was barely possible to make out the riders in the blur! This time they will be going even faster as they will be going down hill towards La Tuiliere.
