A lively Provençal dance in which the dancers join hands and wind in and out in a chain.Children also took part in period dances including the lively farandole from Provence and the slower pavan, both dating back to the time of Tudorkings and queens....
- Led by a drummer, a group of women performs the traditional dance of Provence, the farandole, under the shelter of the umbrella pine in the background.
- Early dance, from the medieval period (branles and farandole) I quite like, as I have interest in early music.
