Onion Videos

Here's some video Robin Berson took of the traditional Occitan music that was played in St. Andre, the church at the entrance to the village, after the Onion Walk (Lo Camin de la Ceba) from Mazamet.


We dropped six of our attendees off up there at 7 in the morning and they arrived at the church to eat sausage and pate sandwiches to the melodic cacophony of the Occitan goatpipes many hours later!



This one takes a minute or so to start, but the song is lovely:

Onion Walk - LO CAMIN DE LA CEBA

We dropped 6 attendees off in Mazamet at 7 this morning to hike the Lo Camin de La Ceba - "Onion Walk" from Mazamet to Labastide Esparbairenque, an 18 km annual event that retraces the steps of centuries of peasants who walked to Labastide for the first onion plantings. Labastide is the last Mediterreanean village before you hit the colder Atlantic climate of the Tarn to the North, hence the reason for the earlier onions here.

Although it was raining everyone still had a great time and for those who didn't walk there was the sausage and pate sandwiches, goatpipes, wine, pastis, and Occitane choral music in the church of St. Andre.

We'll try and get photos and videos for you from our attendees and post them later!

Here's some photos of Tiziana's on Facebook.
