To know how many villages are involved in the fair.... |
The photographer is not anonymous anymore... |
The sweet buns of Rolle. |
Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, take me to the fair.... |
Swiss "Motor-chalet" |
I you want to make cheese, you need a cauldron... |
A skilled cheese-maker, wood fire and some special tools... |
This is not exactly an usual small shovel... |
"Take a card" the magician said... |
"Ohhhh" and the children were amazed...and a little tired too! |
Singing gentlemen.... |
Traning space.... |
Noblesse oblige - A very elegant swineherd... |
Too young calves don't realize that it might be dangerous to be in front of a restaurant... |
I was not informed about the fair, I had no time to go to the hairdresser.... |
A bowl of free vegetable soup anyone? |
"L'Apero" one of the fundamental social rituals of Canton Vaud |
Where is my glass of wine? |
Real Swiss costume.... |
Another gentleman wearing proudly his Swiss costume... |
The parade of the flags will start soon... |
The members of municipalities arrive by boat |
We offer delicious soup here! |
Volunteers keep on frying perch fillets! |
You must flour fish before frying it! |
Where are all the players gone???? |
We have found one of the musicians.... |
Another member of the band is coming...hurry up! |
Come on, the band is waiting for you! |
Little by little we are collecting all the missing musicians... |
And here is the blonde flautist as well... |
Yes, there they are...But don't forget the flag! |
The parade is going to start... |
All wrapped up in the colours of Canton Vaud... |
Check the watch...we are Swiss! |
The bandmaster is checking too.... |
It's all right, we can go now! |
And the parade of authorities will follow the band.... |
But not all the people decided to join the parade... |
Some just wanted to have fun... |
Some keep on serving wine to passers-by.... |
Some seem to have finished their wine.... |
Ah, what a nice spring day to eat outdoors! |
No clouds to spoil the fair, but one, into the glasses! |
Yes, it's a very nice day! |
