Every year, in a different town in the Dordogne, on the first Sunday of July, a festival which is called Félibrée in French, or Felibrejada in Occitan, is held, and 2009 will be no different. This year, on 4 and 5 July, the Félibrée will be held in Beaumont, a beautiful bastide town only abotu 10 kilometres from Lainde.
La Félibrée is the festival to celebrate the language of the Oc -- Occitan, la Langue d’Oc et des félibres, as well as the earth, the region, and the traditions of the Perigorde. The day includes the age-old custom of troubadours singing in the same way and the same songs they did in the courts of Europe since the beginning of time, everyone dressing up in the traditional costumes, dancing in the streets, music played on traditional instruments and the enjoyment of traditional food.
