Like a festive "Eire
Hello all, Monday 17 March is St Patrick's Day! Since we at Brive Tourisme love beer and Ireland, we've come up with a few suggestions to help you get everything ready for the day.
Who was Saint Patrick?
Before we give you all the Irish goodies in Gaillard, a bit of history:
Saint Patrick is the story of an apostle who wasted no time in explaining the concept of Christianity to the Irish with a shamrock. As Patrick was a little late (4 centuries to be exact), he took the opportunity to chase all the snakes (representing ancient beliefs) off the island.
It's a bit like me explaining the concept of experiential tourism to you in flip-flops and suddenly your sunburn disappears.
Our top tips for St Patrick's Day
Get some beer (the basics!)
We're lucky enough to have brewers in the Gaillard region, so now's the time to discover new products:
- La Brasserie La BANOU: is open Tuesday to Thursday from 5pm to 11pm, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 11pm and offers a wide choice of beers.
