...it's mentioned in one of my longtime favorite books, "Colas Breugnon" by Romain Rolland
~~


The St. Martin's festival is celebrated on 11 November, or sometimes the night before, in some regions of the Netherlands, Flanders, northern France, some German-speaking areas, Portugal, Hungary and on the island of Sint Maarten.

The children walk past the doors, sing songs and get something tasty.
