Féria de Béziers - 2016

The "Eve" of the Béziers Féria - final preparations with people working to setup their Bars and Bodegas.

The word feria is a name used in the South of France for "Fair" or "Festival" which is usually associated with bullfighting. over the next five days nearly a million people will be coming into Béziers to enjoy music, dancing and eating in the streets !

I undestand, that this year, Béziers will be going into "High Alert",  with many Armed Police and the French Army present.
