Langogne en Fête

Langogne en Fête: The Big Popular Festival of Margeride

Every summer, the town of Langogne, at the gateway to Margeride and the Allier region, comes alive for nearly a week for Langogne en Fête. Organized by the association Les Fadarelles, this festive event has become a must-attend for locals and visitors to Lozère.

Flower and Carnival Parades

The highlight of Langogne en Fête is undoubtedly the flower and carnival parade that marches down the town's main avenue. Starting at 4 PM, decorated floats and costumed groups take over the streets, animated by peñas and batucadas (batooks) who make the town vibrate to the sound of their frenzied percussion. A second illuminated night parade resumes at 9 PM for an even more magical show. Between the two parades, bars, restaurants, and terraces are in party mode with various entertainment.
