Salisiens from all over the world, enthusiasts of Béarn traditions and festival-goers alike will gather around the casetas for refreshments, singing and dancing. Or along the parade of floats in the streets of Salies or at the Bayaà for the tiradous or herradinette races... Not forgetting the traditional market in the shady little streets... A feast for the eyes, ears and stomach. En aban!
Don't forget to bring your salt sachet (2?), a real passport to the festival!
