The August 6th fair is in full swing in the streets of Millau, this Tuesday morning.

Crowded terraces, stormed stands, difficulty in moving around without trampling: the traditional August 6th summer fair is well and truly in town! Announced in our columns, the annual event got off to a flying start, this Tuesday morning.

Unlike the previous traditional fair organized by the City of Millau on May 6, the weather was fine. Set up at 9 a.m., the merchants and fairground workers were there. A wide range of products was offered along the boulevard de Bonald, from Mandarous to La Capelle, and along the boulevard de l'Ayrolle.

And this, for the greatest pleasure of the customers and onlookers who linger, in the streets of the city of gloves, on the stands offering food, clothes, jewelry or artistic creations. There is something for everyone.

A real crowd in the streets of Millau, a godsend for local businesses. L’Annexe, le Tout va bien, la Brasserie du Mandarous or le Ninja… The terraces, this Tuesday morning, were packed. The adjacent shops were also able to enjoy the large number of tourists and Millavois. “We had people from the moment we opened, between 9am and 10am in particular”, specifies this bookseller advisor from Caumes, Place du Mandarous. A full house for this start of the day, therefore.
