Grape harvests celebration takes place every year at the end of September.

Photographs were taken in 2003 from Friday late in the afternoon until Sunday evening. But sunday evening, it has less people than Sunday, and people began leaving from about 21 h. Then I have takes photographs in 2004 to add the day of Sunday to add the parade of decorated tank with flowers and brass ban orchestras.

Numerous stands are willing everywhere in the town centre, with music everywhere, and sometimes rather powerful PA systems! Then from time to time a fanfare orchestra try a crossing to liven up to celebration.

Here are some photographs taken in chance on streets... The party starts the Friday evening at 18 h after the closing of offices until Sunday evening. The night falls, and here is some photographs:
