Peddlers' festival - Venosc Village
Description
The Peddlers’ Festival is back in 2027… (Date to be confirmed)
The Pedlars of Venosc
Once faced with the harsh Alpine winters, the people of Venosc would set out on the roads to sell almanacs, engravings, and small handcrafted goods from village to village. Born out of necessity, this travelling trade became an essential part of the village's history and identity.
