Charivari. - And to think this is Saint Médard's Day!...
Description:
A family is incredibly bored during what has turned out to be a very rainy summer vacation. The outlook is not too promising either, considering that the French St. Médard corresponds to the English St. Swithin's Day. Tradition says that whatever the weather is like on St. Swithin's Day, it will continue so for the next forty days.
