The SPA was shut today, and so although we have no news from there, we have something quite exciting to announce.
As our Facebook followers already know, the SPA has been left half of a house and its contents, with the other half going to the Foundation Brigitte Bardot.
We are planning on holding an open house on Sunday 17th May from 10H00-16H00, where you can view the items for sale and make a sealed bid or stay for the live auction at 14H30. Guide prices will be available thanks to a valuations expert who has visited and who will be present on the day to answer your questions.
Items range from sleigh beds (there are three of them) to pewter chandeliers, but there are other knick-knacks. We will also be selling books, bric-a-brac, plants and dog accessories. Refreshments will be available.
The house is for sale too….it is magnificent! The address is 23 rue du Languedoc, Villegailhenc. It is one of the first houses as you enter the village, the one with the fabulous garden on the right just behind the luminated sign.
Below are photos of some of the items for sale. The reserve prices range from €20 to €350. There really is something for everyone!
In another development, DRC has just relaunched our blog on Anglo Info (Languedoc Roussillon). Many thanks to Marie for helping us set this up. The Anglo Info network is an excellent way to reach another audience, and the new blog, titled Carcassonne Dog Blog, will give a round-up of the week’s news and also feature a dog of the week.
It is hoped that this will help rehome some of the many beautiful dogs who are all waiting for homes at the SPA.
