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,

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