Fête du Crémant et Tape-Chaudrons 2025 - Chatillon-Sur-Seine

Description *: The result of the marriage of the Fête du Crémant and the Tape-Chaudrons is a colourful event that's unique in France!

15 March 2025 will once again mark the Fête du Tape-Chaudrons in Châtillon-sur-Seine!
This is a tradition that goes back more than 1500 years, when our ancestors went out in costume in the streets of the town to chase away the winter and celebrate the arrival of spring by banging their cauldrons!
It's a folk tradition that continues to enliven the town every year, much to the delight of youngsters and nostalgic old-timers alike.

For the past 25 years, the winegrowers of the Châtillonnais region have been getting together to show the general public their region, their trade and their product!
Between the Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne and the Route du Champagne, come and explore the 120 km of vineyards in the 23 communes with A.O.C. status.
Meet passionate producers and discover the secrets of this sparkling elixir!
