A small 12 page booklet from the village of Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée.
The Fête de la Transhumance (Transhumance Festival) is a festival held every year near the beginning of June in villages all across Provence. I try to go every year to the one in Saint-Etienne-de-Tinée, about two hours north of Vence.
This is an interesting and informative booklet with information about the festival, sheep, shepherds, traditions and more. Lots of full color photos as well.
I’ve translated the booklet into English and created an English version PDF.

This was so interesting to read. I am familiar with the transhumance but there are such details in the brochure. Thanks for translating and sharing it!
You’re welcome, I’m glad you found it interesting!
