The Andouilles Fair
A party to celebrate traditions
Fixed to the 3rd Monday of February by an ordinance of Louis Philippe in 1831, the Andouilles Fair of Val-d'Ajol owes its name to a prefectural decree dating from 1966, and it is selected among the 100 Remarkable Taste sites. At the time, it was an important cattle fair and all the peasants in the area filled their haversacks with the last andouilles smoked over the hearth. If the cattle have disappeared, the star pork of the month of February has remained, and around it have developed brotherhoods, inductions, a flea market, a book fair and a gourmet market.
The 2025 edition of the Foire aux Andouilles will take place from Saturday 15 to Monday 17 February.

Venice invites itself to Remiremont
Since 1996, Venice invites itself to Remiremont on the 3rd weekend of March. For 4 days, the Féérie Vénitienne (from Thursday evening to Sunday) invades the streets and squares of the city with its costumes! Street orchestras, sound, sound and light, everything is staged in the city so that the costumed expose themselves to the gaze of amazed visitors. The atmosphere is made up of dreams, smiles, elegance, sweetness... But beware, the costumed don't talk! In Remiremont, silence is golden.
