The Ppalouze festival (Grape festival) was held in the village of Lofou
The village is up in the hills, but plenty of people seem to manage to find it.
It was held in the grounds of the village school ... yes, this grandiose building is indeed the village school.
As you can see, it was very popular.
There was plenty of entertainment from choirs ...
groups ..
and dancers.
There were also local artists and craftsmen showing their skills,
as well as the product the festival was named after, the ppalouze, which is a jelly-like substance made from grapes, some examples of which are hanging from the roof of this stall. In these strings of gel are various nuts. If you were prepared to queue, there were some freebie tasters to be had.
The village itself was very picturesque ...
this a a little tavern (in the town)
and one of the myriad of alleys to be explored
Ppalouze.
ReplyDeleteI think the jelly like substance is the result of continually dipping the nuts in wine. That's what we were told in Cyprus where it was also very popular.
