Saturday 11th - Sunday 12th April 2009 - Villefranche de Conflent
Easter weekend in Villefranche is a bit of a treat. The « Goig dels ous de xocolat » sees musicans « Els Ministrils del Rosselló » parade through the streets with the ’geganters de Villefranche’ playing Catalan musical intruments (gralles, flaviol and tambourin) and asking for chocolate eggs from the inhabitants of the town in exchange for their music. A few days before the event, lists of music to be played will be posted into everyone’s letter box. Baskets of eggs on ropes lowered out of first floor windows are particularly appreciated! The procession of the giants or ’gégants’ through the streets of Villefranche is not to be missed.
