la Felibrée

 Felibrée
“Every year, on the first Sunday in July, this festival celebrates the traditional heritage of the troubadours who once sang in Occitan in courts right across Europe. Dedicated to the Occitan language and region, the festival features costumes and traditions from the Périgord and is renowned for the paper flowers used to decorate the streets of the village. The programme includes a typical meal from the Périgord, known as the “taulade”.” (gotofrancenow.com)

Peter & I went to and really enjoyed the Felibrée in Piégut-Pluviers last week. The decorations, costumes, energy, market stalls, demonstrations- it was all good. And there was nary an English speaker in sight (except us, of course!!!)
