THE HISTORICAL FESTIVAL OF COCAGNE

An event in celebration of woad, the plant used for dyeing, whose blue pigment brought wealth to the Toulouse area in the 16th century, transforming it into the "pays de cocagne" or land of plenty. Since 1972, Saint-Félix-Lauragais has paid homage to woad in a grand medieval festival alternating horse shows, historical parades, traditional "mât de cocagne" (maypole) games, old-fashioned games and roundabouts with wooden horses, a gourmet market, etc, for a fun-packed Easter weekend.
