Laruns en fete Vallée d'Ossau - 2022 Août 15th

This patronal festival is very old. However, it is the vogue of the thermal tourism which develops in this valley around 1830 which gives it the aura and the attractiveness which we know it today, by the production of guides, stories and hundreds of lithographs then postcards. The mirror effect acts on the festival itself, bringing in hundreds and thousands of people, and consolidates the content described here: -instrumental expression, dances, polyphonic songs, costumes. This is not a representation of folklore, but rather a dynamic of local heritage.
