 | | For the « soumonces » with a band, a brass band joins the drums and the members are wearing parts of their previous year costume, generally the costume used on previous year Quinquagesima. |
 | | From 9 p.m., on the « Trouilles de nouille » Monday, the Monday preceding the Quinquagesima, the « beaux masques » get all over the town, alone or in groups. |
 | | On Quinquagesima, the future « Gilles », « Paysans » (peasants), « Pierrots » and « Arlequins » of the Shrove Tuesday are wearing a fantasy costume that was imagined months before and created by each participant in the greatest secret. |
