Description

Hall: Dating back to the 16th century, this hall is associated with the memory of the "b?uf gras" (fattened ox) eaten on Mardi Gras. On the preceding Wednesday, the eggs, which were to be sacrificed, were carried through the streets of the town, escorted by the local population. The sacrifice took place on Thursday, under the covered market transformed into a slaughterhouse for the occasion, and attracted a large audience.
