About the event
Autumn has arrived: the woods are turning warm golden shades and the ground is covered with fallen leaves and chestnut burrs waiting to be found. It is the season of family warmth, traditions and, of course, chestnuts crackling over the fire.
The listing points to a number of traditional festivals in the region where you can taste the long-awaited roasted chestnuts prepared by the maronatt, the chestnut roasters.
