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,

audacious way (the weather is more or less complaisant) to
start every new year with our favourite instrument. |
