Plantez les Mai/Planting the Maypole

In the Aquitaine region of France there is a atradition of putting Mai/Maypoles outside the homes of people newly elected to the local council and also for the owners of businesses to erect them to thank their clients or conversely, for clients or employees to put them up to honour their patron.

Berbiguieres is no exception and following the elections of March 2008. Mai were erected at the homes of the new councillors and outside the Mairie, where the Mai honoured the election of all 11 councillors.
