  • Fete de l’Ane et de l’Automne in Donnezac

    At Ferme des Moquets, Donnezac’s donkey and autumn festival places farm life, animals and rural craft in front of families. Carriage rides, donkey rides, wooden games, vintage vehicles, a blacksmith demonstration and a producers’ market all point to the same rural culture. The event works because it treats the farm as a living place of work, play and local production. The farm shop adds another layer, connecting the festival to products made on the property and to the everyday economy behind the autumn celebration.

  • Karyole Feest 2026 in Hondschoote

    Karyole Feest celebrates the agricultural heritage of Hondschoote and the wider Hauts de Flandre. The day brings together draught horses, farm animals, local products, craft stalls and family activities that make rural culture visible in the town centre. Its Flemish identity is important: the name, setting and farming focus all point to a territory where agriculture remains part of public memory. Visitors find more than a family outing; they see how French Flanders presents its working landscape through animals, food, craft and shared celebration.
