The second long weekend of November is here, and with it, a three-day long weekend if you count Monday, November 11.
If you want to take advantage of these three days of rest and you don't know how to spend your time, Le Messager has prepared some ideas for outings. Discover our suggestions for the Ain department and the two Savoies.
Haute-Savoie
This Monday, November 11, Bonneville hosts the Saint-Martin fair for a new edition. Nearly 400 stands will be held in the city center. Many rides will also be available to everyone until 10 p.m. Bonneville town hall recalls that this festival has existed for more than 750 years, celebrating the end of the annual agricultural cycle. Please note that the cattle competition is canceled due to the bluetongue epidemic.
On the Annecy side, the city hosts the “Annecy Beer Festival” on November 9 and 10, a festival dedicated to beer, with many activities. The event will bring together local brewers at the Espace Rencontre. You will be able to discover productions with numerous activities throughout the weekend.
