Here’s to LIFE
Our new LIFE section is featuring more and more reader stories. This is a great place to discover more about the people around you, where they came from, what they're doing now. More than that, it's also a chance for you have a say, and to tell us some of your stories. Visit our LIFE page, or click on 'SHARE' on the right to send us something to publish.
Sporting News
We have a new sports correspondent, who is taking an irreverent look at world sporting events and all sorts of sports much closer to home here in the Languedoc. There's useful information, a fair slice of cynicism and hopefully more than a sprinkle of good humour. Click on SPORTS to keep up to date with the World Cup, and of course the Tour de France very soon. If you have any comments for "BB", click on 'Send us a LETTER' on the right. He reads all your comments.
Please don’t assume we know
If you’ve heard of any good events on in the region - please do let us know. We can’t spot everything - and great events could easily be missed. Just click the ‘SHARE’ button on the right to send us something.
