Ducasse

[anotherbanana]

Well, the Ducasse is over, with a huge turnout from several villages, with much punch, beer and wine, a roasted pig and the usual sausages.Plus dancing and whatever until 2 am at least. Very congenial.

What a pity that such an ancient fete, MidYear, of deeply primitive and significant origins and very satisfying should have been taken over by the Church and linked, for no good reason to St. Jean, whoever he or she was, so that it became the Fête de St Jean. 

And this evening, for €1 euro we can all go and eat the remains.

Of St Jean?😁

Nothing like a tasty Saint; round here they curry the remains. Good when slurped on a baguette with a decent beer.
