The Norman festival of 1984 between folklore and traditions

The Friends of the beach announced their second Norman party for a Sunday. The 1984 edition was to begin at 9 a.m. with a fair open to individuals and professionals on the school grounds, with the presence of the Bayeux lace school.

At 10:15 a.m., Abbé Tourquetil was to celebrate mass with the folk group Alfred Rossel de Cherbourg. A procession of floats, flowery boats, carts, group members and Vaumicel amazons then had to go down to the beach, turn around the Signal monument and join the school.

Sausages, teurgoule, fallue, cider and apple juice were planned for restoration, with Norman games. At 3:30 p.m., the folk group was to give a show of about an hour and a half in the parking lot of the National Guard monument. A ball and a fireworks display were to close the day.
