A day for trees, awnings, courtyards, verandas, porches, fans, and the practical genius of escaping heat.
Regional/Cultural Day
Jour de la Lune des Moissons
Proposed. The harvest moon rises over the vineyards of France in September, and every winemaker who sees it knows that the grapes are ready, the vendanges are coming, and the wine that will be poured next year is being born under this moon.
Regional/Cultural Day
Jour des Champignons
Proposed. The French forest in autumn produces cepes, girolles, trompettes de la mort, and mousserons, and every French person who knows where to find them will never tell you, because the mushroom spot is a secret, and the secret is more valuable than the mushrooms.
Regional/Cultural Day
Jour des Vendanges
The grape harvest is the most important event in the French countryside. The pickers arrive, the trailers fill, the juice flows, and every village that produces wine becomes a village that celebrates wine, because the vendanges are not just work. They are the beginning of next year's vintage.
