Danses (modernes et folkloriques), voitures anciennes et régalade avec bons produits des étals des commerçants : la fête a été belle ce samedi soir !

They are the beating heart of commerce in the city center of Millau. And for 125 years! An anniversary celebrated as it should be this Saturday, December 7 from 7 p.m. The merchants had imagined something beautiful and good: the program was full.

First with an exhibition of cars from the last century thanks to the SAVA association (Sud Aveyron old vehicles). Then, in the heart of the market halls themselves, where a fountain used to stand, Sébastien Crochard's dance school transported the large audience.

Folk dances and pancakes

An elegant woman hanging from an immense drapery, young girls in black strolling with paintings… in the middle of a dense crowd. A little later, it was the group “Lo Gantieirelo” who performed choreographies from the old days, when the market halls were very young.

And, during the two sequences, each and every one was able to feast on cold cuts, cheese platters, oysters and other crepes offered by the market traders. When is the next anniversary ?
