Festival
I was very lucky to visit the French town of Annecy, a weekend holiday in the month of October, when the population celebrates the end of summer and the beginning of the period when the cattle come down from the mountains for the winter in home, and farmers symbolically parade their animals through the streets of the city. They parade dressed as medieval villagers and have flowers decorating the carts and the animals also carry some embellishment representative of Savoy. It is a joyous festival and with an abundance of typical regional food, wine and lots of beer ... There is folk music, with the same people in the region ve put their food stalls, bands and take part in the dances.
It caught my attention in this area of the show the French Swiss and German origins, especially the physical features very fair and with light eyes. Savoy's pride is evident in this joyous festival, as it is recalled that this region, along with Geneva and the Aosta Valley in Italy, were part of the original Savoy centuries ago, before France annexed it in the year 1860 . These days it is very common to exhibit the flag of Savoy more than the same French flag, giving the feeling that you are in another country other than France.
