It is Europe's largest open-air living exhibition focusing on different aspects of the rural world and research. The fair presents 3,500 animals and machines. The "Ardenne joyeuse" zone allows the 200,000 visitors to discover quality local products. The Libramont Fair is also the occasion for the Walloon authorities to award the much awaited Coqs de Cristal, distinctions that honor producers in various categories of food products. It's like the Oscars of Walloon gastronomy!

In Marche-en-Famenne (province of Luxembourg), this folk carnival lasts 5 days. Its origins lie in a little fellow called Gugusse. In the procession, the famous Grosse Biesse ("big beast"), who looks like a dragon, as well as other fantastic beings such as nutons (goblins), devils and Macrâles (witches). But also the Grand Georges, the last public bellringer in Marche, and the Grand Mautchî (formerly Prince Carnaval). The festivities end with the burning of Gugusse's bag of tricks, Gille's hump and a masked ball.

There is the fair and then… the fair, with the competition of the biggest pâté pâté!
