Exposition : Patrimòni viu

From the winter solstice to Midsummer's Day, halhas (bonfires), Carnival and patron saint festivals punctuate the year and mark the passing of the seasons.

These high points reflect the ancient link between communities, the cosmic cycle and the civil and religious calendar. On loan from Cird?Òc (Institut occitan de cultura), this exhibition highlights the festive and ritual practices that underpin collective life in Béarn and Gascony. Exclusive to Béarn des Gaves!
