SOUFFLACULS

In the pure tradition of old carnivals, this parade takes place at the end of the winter. Once, it marked half-lent and was restored to the taste of the day a few years ago. It is a carnival like many others, with the afternoon parade of tanks, music groups, majorettes, jugglers… In the evening, the carnival king disappears in flames, after a fireworks fire. But in Saint-Claude, the parade and its sides are part of a particular tradition: that of the. Their mission? Take the devil out of the few corners with brooms and bellows… especially under the skirts of women where, it is known, the devil finds refuge! Agree: today, women wear jeans and bellows are less used… Ladies, take care of the masked characters wearing a long shirt and a white cap!
