Description
In the heart of Coligny, come and experience a day out of time, with Bresse traditions, period costumes and the skills of yesteryear!
Under the aegis of the Association des Amis de Coligny, you'll rediscover the flavour of a picturesque past, sometimes not so long ago. A "foirail", more than 70 exhibitors and stands to discover the originality, richness and flavours of local products.
Numerous demonstrations of the trades of yesteryear: lacemakers, headdress ironers, tailors, but also today's blacksmiths, basketmakers and spinners.
Adults and children alike can try their hand at traditional techniques.
Unique, rare and spectacular, equestrian footbaths in the aiguayoir with Comtois horses. A tradition and a refreshing way to care for the horses of the salt and mail routes.
The golden and diamond wedding celebrations... This is the perfect opportunity to recreate a life-size wedding as it was in the old days! The traditional "nillon" is a real costume party.
You'll also discover the hand pump, demonstrated by firefighters in costume, and the public will be invited to join in the chain with water buckets made of... just like in the old days, and refreshing if it's hot.
Genuine old-fashioned waffles for tasting, vintage vehicles: tractors, motorcycles and cars, wheat threshing in sheaves. Bresse folklore, folk dances, songs and music: travelling aubades by street music bands.
Traditional games for young and old!
Catering from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and in the evening: bréchets and guinguette meals under the Grenette.
Free parking is available all around the village (follow the signs).
A friendly, relaxed atmosphere for an unforgettable day.
