FÊTES EN LANGUEDOC Festas d'Oc (book)

Follow the author Philippe Calas to discover the very typical and local traditions of Languedoc and Roussillon regions. Festivals are often linked to the seasons or to the rite of passage from childhood to adulthood , or to the expulsion of evil spirits.

Just a few examples to find again in this book "Festas d'Oc": the Limoux Carnival is nearly 3 months of duration, the Festival of the Bear in Catalonia involves a fertility rite, or "les Pailhasses" near Montpellier is a festival closed to the public, or "la Sanch" the evening procession of Good Friday in different towns of Catalonia.
