Festival du Voyageur 1980

 

This was my first time attending Festival du Voyageur. Joie de vivre is a French phrase often used in English to express a cheerful enjoyment of life, an exultation of spirit, and general happiness. The Festival has changed in many ways since 1980 but the joie de vivre remains. A warm embrace in a cold climate. Be sure to go. Bon Festival!  Hé ho!

The photographs presented here were taken on one day.
