Armistice Day 2013
Armistice Day (11 November) is a national holiday. Each commune in the canton has its own war memorial and each takes its turn to host the ceremony. The format is a Mass in the commune church accompanied by music from the local band and laying of wreaths at the war memorial, followed by a parade and a glass of friendship. In 2013 the ceremony was held in in the church at Belval Bourg. The laying of wreaths after the service was in wind and drizzle and a vin d'honneur was then served in the local school.. Afterwards the contingents from Notre Dame and St Martin (de Cenilly) repaired to Grimesnil for a slap-up meal.
