Around the region July 2021

Summer’s here, the sun is shining, the curfew is lifted and things are looking mighty fine across the P-O.

While we’re all certainly going to be wary for a while, we’re also looking forward to getting back a sense of normality, and local businesses, restaurants and events are eager to welcome back locals and tourists alike.

Remember, for larger spectator events, you may need a pass sanitaire and you still need to wear a mask in certain situations. Otherwise, we wish you a very happy month getting safely out and about!

If you know of any events across the region that are not on the list, please let us know : laura@anglophone-direct.com
