Despite the cool weather brought on by a persistent marinade, the second-to-last opening day of the enchanting Z’Oeufforiques park in Barcares attracted families and groups of friends on Saturday, May 2, 2026. Visitors, especially children, were able to warm up around the giant wooden games and enjoy the jazzy and Brazilian rhythms of the Cielo Company, which lit up the Republic Square.
Coralie, Marguerite, and Nadia, all in their twenties, arrived at the Republic Square in Barcares, huddling together. Dressed in small denim jackets but bare-legged, these three friends from Tarn were surprised by the cold weather when interviewed by “l’Independant”. Marguerite, speaking for the trio, expressed their surprise at the unexpected cold weather and their delight in the Easter eggs and colorful farm animals at the park.
The weather, at a chilly 19 degrees Celsius, did not deter families with young children from braving the persistent marinade. Drawn like magnets to a sailboat and its huge playground at the heart of the square, the children had a blast under the watchful eyes of their parents. Bérénice and Stanislas, both 35, watched over their 5-year-old Gabriel with pride as he played and made friends on the boat.
Suddenly, a few timid rays of sunshine broke through the clouds, raising the temperature slightly. The giant wooden games were quickly occupied, and six musicians from the Cielo Company, dressed as ants and accompanied by two turtles on wheels, livened up the atmosphere with their lively jazz and batucada rhythms. They led a “Fellinian” parade, warming up the crowd all at once. A festive exit for this almost final run of the Z’Oeufforiques 2026. The last day is scheduled for Sunday, May 3.
