Among the 340 events offered as part of the Entre Rhône et Saône Festival, the big parade which started this Saturday at Place de la Comédie. Less colorful than the 2022 edition, it was followed by a public present throughout the course despite the showers. While elsewhere, the games and workshops organized around water brought together many participants. We had to deal with the elements, the wind, the rain and even a few fine hailstones. Enough to discourage some who came this Saturday afternoon to join the parade. But there are some who stayed, to follow a very friendly articulated turtle who sometimes had difficulty navigating along the banks of the Rhône, to the sound of an energetic batucada performed by the artists of Arrête J’Adore , Bad Seeds and Léthé Musicale. “Too bad,” regrets a passerby, holding on to her umbrella, “it could have been nice.” It prevents. When the showers were over, everyone finally arrived at La Guillotière. There, where on the stands and still on the banks of a very agitated Rhône patiently awaited numerous spectators who had come to witness another moment of the Festival, the return of the legendary Mâchecroute who had a hard time waking up.
