Yesterday was the Retour des Alpages, which according the Babelfish translates to "Return of the Mountain pastures". Basically, every year on the second Saturday of October, all the animals are brought down from the mountains and are paraded through Annecy old town.
The whole day is dedicated to this event with the entire old town being converted into a huge fair whereby people are demonstrating and selling a variety of things.
We had a really nice day out and I'd definitely recommend it if you are in the area at this time of year.
