The bastide town of Ste. Foy has 2 bridges across the Dordogne river and both lead to the larger town of Port Ste. Foy et Ponchapt. Once a year the towns organize a bring your own repas, meet at the town line, and eat sur le pont together. It is an evening to go somewhere with your family and friends, see your neighbors, chat, share food, wine, and of course there is animation (literally translated as liveliness). On our evening out there was a country/celtic/line dancing club who performed.
We organized ourselves so that each couple brought a course but we ended up sharing food with our neighbors at the table which expanded our menu. There was an aperitif and we ate poached Scottish salmon, melon, pesto pasta salad, tomatoes and mozarella, fruit salad, chocolate gateau, and coffee. A fun experience.
