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.

Carnaval à l'ambiance plus que conviviale. Entrée très démocratique et même gratuite si on est déguisé. Cortège assez sympa avec de nombreux groupes et chars dont celui de la fameuse "grosse biesse".
