With the Gallic origins of Halloween

30 minutes south of Toulouse, in the direction of the Pyrenees, the Gaulois Village, located in the town of Rieux-Volvestre (Haute-Garonne), get into the spirit of Halloween during all school holidays.

The objective of the park during these “16 days of Samonios” is to go to the origins of Halloween. Origins… Gallic, of course! “The Gallic Village has chosen to evoke the origins of this Anglo-Saxon festival which, in reality, is a Gallic festival called Samonios or Samain”, he indicates.

On the menu for the All Saints’ Day holidays: demonstrations of Gallic crafts, archery activities for 4-14 year olds, a special Halloween quiz and workshop for the manufacture of Gallic objects of the time (coin, leather object, brass jewelry…).
