[Mariage à Latour-de-Carol: cérémonial et cargolade]

Marriage starts with the arrival in the village of Latour-de-Carol by car. We pass by the station and Church square and the bride and groom sign the papers at the town hall. After a long shot of the Pyrenees, we go to the church of Saint-Fructueux d'Yravals for the religious marriage. Next comes the banquet where the celebrations will end. The second part of the film is devoted to a cargolade ("escargots") whose process we follow step by step, until wine is drunk out of pitchers.
