Ariege men certainly
know how to make a statement
The Fete des
Vendanges, held every year at Ouveillan, with vibrant energy, dancing,
music, food,
traditional crafts, flea market, wine in abundance - is the place
to be at the beginning of October. Men in big hats, clogs that make
a statement, show the wild life of the Ariege. The Ariegeois traditionally
every year would come and take part in the vendange or grape picking
in the Aude area, away from their mountain villages.
