L'arbre de Mai - 5.

Le tronc est vendu sur place aux enchères et les branches sont utilisées pour alimenter le feu de la Saint-Jean. Jusque très tard dans la nuit le village est alors animé par les chants et les danses.

The trunk is sold by auction on the spot and branches are used to feed the fire of Saint Jean. To very late at night the village is then livened up by the songs and the dances.
