The Mentonnais Folk Dancers are an important part of the day - a great group and all having such a good time. In the Old Town of Menton there is a building you can visit that has displays of life exactly as it once was in Menton, including figures dressed in the original clothes - of which these are copies, of course.

ReplyDeleteFantastic anlge on the first photo. All are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love these dancers and I also love your photographs. Excellent details. I had the pleasure of seeing them at another celebration at St. Michel - Fête Saint Michel in September. I loved the embroidery on the shawls and the kids band also. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories.
