A 'Vitry' Parade

This weekend is a bank holiday. So this Saturday there is a brocante (jumble sale) and parade.

Since the parade goes right past our window, we were banned from parking near our house for a day!

Still it gave June an excellent viewpoint, whilst I elected to get some photos from a closer angle.
"La Mécanikabulle", a bubble making machine.

The Serenade!
As the parade passed, it often stopped. Here the "Magic Skatolog All Stars" serenade June, taking full advantage of an impromptu stop, and her!

"Most embarrassing" she said afterwards.

Some more embarrassing moments for some.

Some more photos from the day:

You can get too close!
These are the "Chromoaptères"

The local catholic church dancers

"Karib'k" - very energetic!

"Cie Magic Land" - very tall and frightening!

Touching the dragon!
Majorettes. <Click> if they are not dancing for you!

"Char ACP"- A tough lot, the lady carries the tuba.
