| Page Views: 112 Last Visit to Jullianges: August, 2007 | Where passion for horses is engraved on the skin by kokoryko - last update: Jan 3, 2008 |
Jullianges is a tiny (390 inhabitants) village in Auvergne not known 50 km away, except from horse races addicts (which I am not (addict!!haha)).
Walking and hiking in the hills and forests can be a nice thing to do in Jullianges and area, and it is almost all, except few days in the year, on race days. (Race days: mid June, mid July, end August).
Here are a few pictures and descriptions of an afternoon at the races, a bit of the atmosphere on a summer day in a small Auvergne village. |
|  | And a little church. . . . . . The little church (15th-16th century) deserves a visit if you are in the area, and unlike many churches of the area, it is open all day and not only during mass time.
The second Sunday of August is the “ Fête du Sarassou”, a local white fresh cheese, with local music, folkloric dancers, and other “animations”, I never attended. |

Lovely snapshot of a country race-day. leyle | tiabunna Fri Nov 14, 2008 13:03 UTC
A visit on the right days clearly has some attractions - even a brass band! What a pity (or maybe it's a good thing ?) that so many tourists fail to find the Massif Centrale area of France. | robertgaz Wed Jan 9, 2008 02:23 UTC
If you can have a chip on your shoulder... why not a horse ;~) |
