Arts traditions folklore à Séverac-le-Chateau

Holidays at Séverac Castle. The film begins with a religious procession combining religious leaders and villagers, the head priest brandishing a golden cross. Then the long procession of flower floats depicting numerous motifs, rides and fireworks at night. Then, long shots of statues of the virgin and a parade of very old cars before a Mass outdoors. It then focuses on the arrival and installation of the circus Pinder (then associated with the program to track the stars) with many animals. The last part is made of various images: snow in the village, landscapes, dances, trucks, children playing on ice, mopeds, amateur football, a spectacle for children and street scenes.
