And no less than 350 artists will take part in this great festive and life-size parade in the colors of Béarn Pyrénées.
The challenge for this festival of pastoralism is to highlight this ancestral know-how of Béarn, the profession of shepherd, the traditions of transhumance, which will soon be listed as intangible heritage by UNESCO. This pastoral and cultural event aims to discover and exchange with the general public rural areas in respect of nature.
France Bleu Béarn-Bigorre will make you live every minute of this unique event, thanks to a special device in the heart of the Champs-Elysées.
