LA Times (USA)
reports on an annual festival in Luquet (the annual
fete locale, or traditional village fair, for this medieval hamlet) with its neighbour Saint Christaud. Luquet is a commune in the
Hautes-Pyrénées department in southwestern France.
The women were busy preparing a sit-down cassoulet feast for 400 people, and as a treat for the women they were rewarded with a meal of fresh
escargot!
A good fete involves a lengthy
petanque competition; dancing and music till dawn; drinking for the same period of time; grilled Toulouse sausage and the cassoulet. Flirting is a must!
Sounds like fun!
