Armistice Day
Commemorations of November 11 in our town, then a nice lunch.
"Armistice Day (Armistice de la Première Guerre mondiale) in France remembers those who died or were injured in World War I and other wars." Alex had a lesson in school on "Les Poilus",
= Poilu is an informal term for a French World War I infantryman, meaning, literally, hairy one. It is still widely used as a term of endearment for the French infantry of World War I. The word carries the sense of the infantryman's typically rustic, agricultural background. Beards and bushy moustaches were often worn. The poilu was particularly known for his love of pinard, his ration of cheap wine.
