The story

It's always very beautiful to walk its streets and encounter its palaces, but the most delightful thing is being there during the festival period, during which there's a succession of groups and performers; it's a very festive as well as youthful note......

By the way, on the way back towards Apt, not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, in a situation with no danger at all, especially since in the meantime nobody was arriving, a few minutes later I, with the caravan following behind me, was chased with sirens blaring by the police... I'll leave the rest to your imagination; only the Seventh Cavalry charging the stagecoach was missing;-))))..........
