Bacchu-ber

The bacchu-ber, derived from Occitan bau cubèrt, is a traditional folk dance performed with swords. This dance takes place in the district of Pont-de-Cervières, city of Briançon. Its origin dates back to many centuries ago. This folk dance is unique in France and is one of the rare sword dances that have stood the test of time. It is performed once a year on 16 August, day of Saint Roch (1340–1379), patron of the Pont-de-Cervières district. Similar shows are performed on the Italian side of the Cottian Alps, notably in San Giorio, Fenestrelle and Giaglione villages.
