After last summer’s trip to Sicily where I met up with a Euronews colleague, I didn’t expect it to happen again this summer.
So imagine my surprise when Cath and I went into Venelles for an aperitif on Friday evening at one of the two bars in the main square.
As we headed for one we heard a cry from the other where Cath’s sister was having a drink with a couple of friends.
So we joined them.
But then, someone else arrived at a neighbouring table.
My former Euronews colleague François Chignac.

It turns out this restaurant is run by his nephew and François was in town for the weekend.
He still works at the Green Cube – until November at the very least.
We had a chat and caught up on the latest news.
Comme le monde est petit.
