Description
The Lormay Festival is a day of celebration centred around the customs and traditions of yesteryear, organised by Animation Agricole Bornandine: local traditions revisited, traditional trades and local crafts, folk music groups, country meals and public dances.
Haystack throwing, woodworking, grandma's coffee, bread baking in the Lormay wood oven... will enliven the day. Pony rides, giant wooden games will delight the youngest. It is also an opportunity for visitors to (re)discover the secrets of making ancelles and tavaillons, the famous wooden tiles that make - among others - the reputation of Grand-Bornand.
Refreshments and snacks (potato fritters...) on site all day long.
