Retour des Alpages

This Grand Traditional Popular Festival presents a return to our origins: craftwork events, demonstration of old trades, parade of Alpine herds, folklore groups, tasting of local products.

At the beginning of autumn, the cattle comes back from the pastures where they spent summer…

This return in the valley is symbolized by this day of feast.

On the second Saturday of October, streets of Annecy are filled with coloured herds, craftsmen, old manual trades, folklore bands, typical local producers. You'll craft and traditions of Savoy.

It is also an important day for local people to celebrate the beginning of autumn.

Come to live an authentic and friendly moment !
