BELGIUM BINCHE CARNIVAL CANCELLATION

Manufacturer of Gilles de Binche clogs

epa09710315 Lucie Brichot, 75, makes Gilles de Binche clogs in her small shop despite the cancellation of the Binche Carnival, in Binche, Belgium, 26 January 2022. Lucie Brichot has been making Gilles de Binche clogs by hand since 1966. She was 19 when she took over the family business run by her grandparents since the start of the First World War. For Lucie, making Gilles de Binche clogs is more than just a job. For her it represents all her life and her pride, that's why she tirelessly continues to manufacture them. Since its existence around 1394, the carnival has been canceled three times, the first during the Second World War and the other two times due to the health crisis linked to COVID-19 in 2021 and 2022. The Carnival of Binche is a popular historical cultural event that was named a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2003. EPA/STEPHANIE LECOCQ
