“Trick or treat?” “Des bonbons ou un sort” (sweets or a spell) would be closer or perhaps “une betise ou des friandises” (mischief or sweets). Whatever you are doing, many shops and supermarkets are now stocking Halloween costumes and pumpkin carving kits. Have a spooky time.

Winemakers’ Procession in St Emilion
VENDANGE AT ST EMILION
P-P-Pick up a pumpkin
The Local Buzz • September & October 2018
Le Ban des Vendanges de la Jurade at Saint Emilion takes place on the 15 and 16 September when the red robed winemakers of the Jurade head a procession through the town to the Tour du Roy. A fireworks display declares the vendange open and the festivities begin. Dating back to 1199 but dissolved during the French Revolution because of its English heritage, the Jurade was reformed in 1948. Today, it has 3000 members acting as ambassadors for the Saint-Emilion appellations around the world.
