Special Events
In Allemans-du-Dropt, there’s the Mercredis Cachés (“hidden Wednesdays”) every Wednesday in July and August starting at 8.30 pm. You simply turn up at the central square, Place de la Liberté, and signs will tell you the way to the secret spot of this night’s concert – also with a secret artist. So get ready to be (pleasantly) surprised for new places and music every week – and there’s also a few stalls with food and drinks.
