   Presentation of Les Amis de Formulus

 

The group Les Amis de Fromulus (the Friends of Fromulus), are composed of about 50 benvolent members.

 

We have two sections with différent outfits (matching the giants):

*    The adults who are around the giant Jean le Bûcheron (John the Woodcutter).

*    The youngsters (under 16) who carry the giant Jacobus

 

Michel Sansen, actual leader of the group is only the third président of the group although it was created in 1913 !

 

    Since 1999, this team has been completed by an emloyee and together they work to develop the activities of the group which consist, not only in accompanying their giants John theWoodcutter, but also in the organisation of festivals at Steenvoorde and elsewhere, for other towns or comittees. They stand for the dancing giants tradition and study dancing giants around the world.

 

Michel is the official French representative of the CIAG (the International Circle of Giants' Friends)
