When we opened the bar we were suprised to learn that a book had been recently published which was partially set here. The book was Toute Allure, the second book documenting the trials and tribulations of the author, Karen, and here new life in France.
By a quirk of fate, we had met Karen at the Earls Court France show a few months before we left the UK and had purchased a copy of her first book, Tout Sweet, and had it signed and dedicated to our friend Pat.
The book details Karen's line dancing times in the bar and some anecdotes about life in the bar under the previous owner.
Karen is now once again a regular for the Friday morning line dancing (cancelled today as people want to watch a couple getting married somewhere) as well as the Monday evening fish and chips.
Karen has a very well read blog www.toutsweet.net and has written about the bar on it. ( nice things thankfully!!)
She also mentions this blog so as in the title of the post, the blog has been blogged
