It's the village fête in Samoëns, and to mark the occasion we're organizing a guinguette evening. Restaurant owners will be offering guinguette menus. Shopkeepers will be holding a fair and opening at night to celebrate the start of their braderie.
The "guinguette" atmosphere will be in full swing on the Place du Gros Limeul, with red and white checkered tablecloths, garlands of light bulbs, a stage and dance floor set up so that locals and holidaymakers alike can get together to enjoy a meal specially designed by participating restaurateurs.
It's also an opportunity to celebrate the launch of the Samoëns shopkeepers' braderie.
During the day and the rest of the weekend, you can take advantage of the shopkeepers' braderie, and in the evening, the stores will open at night, and you can also enjoy the games at the shopkeepers' Kermesse.
As you stroll through the village, you'll be able to choose your favorite guinguette menu from participating restaurants.
After the meal, a popular dance is organized in the square, so that everyone can enjoy the festivities.
To make sure you don't end up thirsty, the tourist office will be holding a refreshment bar with local beers in the square...
From the Samoëns tourist office, by bike, on foot or in a wheelchair, take Avenue Cognac Jaÿ, turn right at the end of the street, and 150m further on you'll arrive at Place du gros Tilleul.
Free parking nearby at Place des dents blanches and Place des Avoudruz. Blue spaces and PMR reserved spaces just ahead.
