Back on the beach Luc Provensal, the folk group Lei Magnoti sets the tone with traditional dances and music before the burning of the Pointu, a moment always charged with emotion.
At nightfall, place to the party on the promenade Simon-Lorière with a large sardinade followed by an evening guinguette with a warm atmosphere. To close this beautiful evening, a fireworks will illuminate the sky maximois.
