Gaillac lantern festival opens

Chinese workers prepare for the festival

The second festival of Chinese lanterns opens tomorrow (Saturday 1st December) in the Gaillac Foucaud  park. For the last two months 82 Chinese workers from Sechuan have been constructing a city of lanterns with fantastical creatures and a "palace" some 75 metres long.
It is possible that gilets jaunes will cause some difficulty of access so visitors are advised to check the media tomorrow.
