This event must be unique. It is the only time in my life where I have seen the work of professional artists, amateur artists, shopkeepers and school children all combined seamlessly in the same exhibition. As everybody works with the same basic form, the exhibition has a sense of unity that is very unusual. The youngest artists probably age from around two years old through to artists in their nineties. One aim of this event is to bring the village together and bring people to the village. There is a genuine depth to the creative pool that exists in this area. Each year there are people who make an egg for the first time and we all wonder at their extraordinary imagination.

The Fete Du N'Oeuf 2008 is now nearly complete. This was the fifth year of this incredible event. Nearly 100 half metre high eggs were once again on display in the medieval village of St Antonin Noble Val in the South West of France. Unfortunately the weather over the Easter weekend was so bad that instead of the usual display of these eggs outside the exhibition had to take place in the Mairie of the village. This did not stop people turning up in their hundreds to see these amazing objects.
