Les Failles

After the carnival, “Les Failles” took place. The name sounded familiar to me, but I have no idea what the meaning of this festival is. I tried to look it up on the internet, but it has not been helpful. All I could find is that you only find it in some limited parts of Switzerland and Savoie, where we live. In Switzerland, it takes place at the beginning of lent but here, it is celebrated about half way through lent. That’s all I know. It was fun. There was a huge bonfire, and a few hundred people were there.
