Sport, music, various celebrations, the Saint-Pierre festivities are the major annual meeting of Arthésiens.
Friday 28 at 9 p.m., doubles pétanque competition. Musical entertainment with “Les Tontons Flingueurs”. Saturday 29 l’Arthésienne, the highlight of this long weekend. Every year, nearly 200 people, in a joyful, festive, non-competitive cycling peloton, set off from Place François-Mitterrand to La Condomine, along the Tarn via Longouyrou, perfectly supervised by volunteers in the event of a breakdown or of…pump. It’s a multi-colored serpentine with participants aged from 10 to 80 years old! At La Condomine, restorative picnic. Then, canoe descent to the base of Les Avalats, supervised by Lo Capial, and return on foot to Arthès: a beautiful triathlon! In the evening, in the multipurpose room, braised ham and beans meal. You can register for the evening meal, without having participated in the Arthésienne. Registration required on the form available at the town hall or at the Yannick hair salon. Very suitable prices. Due to the work at the school group, the polling station is transferred to the community hall, preventing the organization of the usual Sunday garage sale, which is postponed to September 8. Monday, at noon, tripoux meal. Reservations at 05 63 45 02 90. At 2:30 p.m., triplet pétanque competition in 4 parts. We can bet that the tremendous success of the Arthésiens games, to which we will return, will have stimulated a number of amateur athletes, who will be happy to come and join the ranks of participants at the Arthésienne, which is already a fantastic meeting and conviviality.
