There
is in Chirassimont see text , a small village in French region
Rhône-Alpes, at 60 km. (37 miles)
from Lyon, also famous
place for the French Drum see
story a tradition which goes
back up in 1946. The first day of
January, every year, in the morning,
some bugles and drummers (generally
a robust base of accustomed musicians,
more sometimes some the others)
play the "Réveil
en campagne" (more or
less the "Diane" plus
the "Rigaudon") or also
the "Réveil
de la Garde" in different
places of the village, about ten.
New inhabitants are a little surprised,
former ones are happy to see the
continuity of this particular thing,
shutters half-open, sometimes a
door with a hot fortifying coffee,
and sometimes much more. All that
ends about at 11 a.m. The linked photos,
dated 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014,
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 January 1st, illustrate
this fact, audacious way (the weather
is more or less complaisant) to
start every new year with our favourite
instrument.
