Events in Catalonia and further afield...
So in the UK we have crazy things like cheese rolling and running down the road with barrels of burning tar....
What do the French have? What events are good to see? I hear they do polo on snow in the alps, anything else?

Hmmmmmm, difficult one. Not sure the French sense of humour would cope with anything too off the wall.
There is the fete de la soule where they kick a pig's bladder around Amelie (tho this was cancelled this year due to organiser apathy).

There is also the Bear Festival which is fun

Events in Catalonia
In one village near to where we live we have the annual Worm Charming Festival! In another we have the Figgy Pie Festival which involves baking a pie and rolling it down the main street.
Hahahahahaha. The idea of a Heath an safety jobs worth having a heartattack made me chuckle
Thanks for all th suggestions. I am going to start investigating them. Someone mentioned the bear festival to me a while ago. I didn't even know the Pyrenees had bears, I got very excited when I found out I am also very keen to meet a marmot,
