SUMMARY:Uzès Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 17 March\, 3:00pm\nAt a Member’s home the third Tuesday of the Month \nIn March we will be discussing “The Finest Hotel in Kabul” by Lyse Doucet. Lyse Doucet first arrives at the Kabul Inter-Continental Hotel on Christmas Day 1988\, the day after her thirtieth birthday\, to cover the withdrawal of Soviet troops. But she was immediately taken by the faded grandeur of the hotel and the warmth of its staff.  Over the next four decades\, Lyse would become the world’s best-respected war correspondent\, reporting on moments from the Arab Spring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as Chief International Correspondent for the BBC. Yet\, she is always drawn back to her Afghan home\, the hotel most people just call the ‘Inter-Con’.  Here\, by drawing upon years of conversations with its staff and guests\, she tells the story that only she can.  The book offers an unflinching and intimate portrait of contemporary Afghanistan\, from the hopeful days following the fall of the Taliban’s first regime to the chilling return of fear under their second rule. \nThe Book Club has a waiting list at the moment\, but we are happy to share our 2026 book list (created via a member poll) if anyone is looking for new reading ideas.  Please contact us if you are interested in being added to the waiting list or receiving our book choices. \nChristine Frati                                              Angela Denton-Thompson\nchristine@britsnimes.com                             angeladt@britsnimes.com

SUMMARY:BritsVignes
DESCRIPTION:Friday 27 March\, 10:00am\nLes Collines du Bourdic\n30190 Bourdic\nIn March\, we will be visiting Les Collines du Bourdic\, which is a large cave cooperative located in the village of Bourdic. This is the site where the wine making takes place\, not to be confused with their sales cooperative at Saint Maximin! Originally opened in 1928 when a group of local winegrowers from four villages decided to join forces and produce wine together. Today\, this has grown into 110 vignerons working over 1\,800 hectares of vineyards\, producing over 30 cuvées! \nOur visit will include a one-hour visit to the cave\, followed by a guided tasting of 7 different wines. \nHere’s the link to their website: https://www.collines-du-bourdic.com for more details. \nAfter the visit\, there is an option to have lunch at La Bergerie\, a Franco-Mauritian fusion restaurant in Garrigues-Saint-Eulalie. Have a look at their website for details of their menus and wines: https://labergerie-restaurant.fr/menu/ \nBarney Lehrer\nbarney@britsnimes.com

SUMMARY:Nîmes Book Club-New Venue
DESCRIPTION:Nîmes Book Club  (Venue Change)\nFriday 27 March\, 10:30am\nMaison Quaker\, 11 avenue des Quakers\, 30011 Congénies\n\nOur book this month is “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight” by Alexandra Fuller. \nDon’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight is Alexandra Fuller’s coming of age memoir in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) during the 1970s\, during the civil war. She recounts\, in often vivid detail\, the harsh realities of living in a violently polarized society and the deep scars that war leaves upon its survivors. \nIt’s a fascinating story of an unusual\, highly independent immigrant family from Britain\, forever moving from one farm to another\, with each change putting them more at risk from the guerilla insurgency. And there are thoughtful accounts/reflections on how the black Rhodesian farm employees saw the Fuller family. Alexandra pulls no punches\, so the story is vivid\, often funny\, often painful. \nFor practical reasons attendance is limited to 14. \nIf you wish to attend e-mail me by March 20. \nGeneviève Arnaud-Vincent\ngenevieve@britsnimes.com

DESCRIPTION:After a hugely successful kick-off coffee at Les Tables in March\, please join us at this beautiful venue for our April meet up! Enjoy a coffee or tea at Les Tables in the beautiful Jardins de la Fontaine. Providing our spring weather cooperates\, we will be changing our location slightly to the wooden deck that is up the steps to the side entrance to the Café (If the weather is dismal\, look for us inside!).  Make sure no one pins a picture of a fish to your back on your way to coffee! \nWe must reserve space\, so please RSVP me by 9:00 PM\, 30 March. This is especially important as we were such a large group in March\, we need to give them a realistic expectation as to the size of our crowd for April. \nPay parking is available at Quai Georges Clemenceau next to the restaurant. \nWe look forward to welcoming you! \nDebbie Connell\ndebbie@britsnimes.com

SUMMARY:Uzès Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 21 April\, 3:00pm\nAt a Member’s home the third Tuesday of the Month \nIn April\, we will be discussing ‘Project Hail Mary’ – a gripping novel about survival\, ingenuity\, and unexpected friendship\, centered on a lone astronaut tasked with saving humanity. Written by Andy Weir\, author of The Martian\, this 2021 novel follows Ryland Grace\, a former science teacher\, who wakes up aboard a spaceship with no memory of who he is or why he’s there. As his memories return\, he realizes he’s the last hope for Earth\, sent on a desperate interstellar mission to stop a mysterious cosmic threat.
