An evening of Saint-Jean by the sea

Les Amis de la Plage invited the inhabitants of Vierville and neighboring municipalities on a Saturday evening to meet by the sea for Saint-Jean. Barbecues and music accompanied this family celebration.

The fire was lit at nightfall, gathering young and old around the fire. The newspaper recalled that this tradition was associated with early summer and evoked the ancient custom of jumping over fire.
