???? ????????????????????, Nord (F) ⏱ July 11, 2023 ???????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ????????????????????????! ???? Among the stars of the world of giants, the Gayant family of Douai is a must. Gayant, born in 1530, was joined the following year by a wife, Marie Cagenon. They will be followed by two first children in 1675, Jacquot and Fillon, and a third in 1715, Tiot Tourni. The family has been able to face the hazards of life, to be reborn after the wars, and to endure to this day, where they are the kings of the Douaisian festivities. On the Tuesday of the festival, the five giants embark on a festive evening until the end of the night! To the sound of percussion, the members of the Gayant family cross the city one last time to their home, where they do not return until the early hours of the morning! If the rain fell at the end of the festivities, forcing the giants to speed up the goodbyes with the population, the Gayant's return was a grandiose and magical moment to experience! Of course, find these wicker stars, and so many others from all over the Hauts-de-France region, in the #géanthèque on Univers des Géants.
