Je me suis trompée dans ma proposition - voilà ce que c\'est de répondre à des kudoz lorsqu\'on n\'est pas réveillé!

\"flare run\" est bien une descente aux flambeaux - c\'est le terme \"run\" qui m\'a induite en erreur je pense.

Merci d\'ignorer ma proposition

disagree  Michaël Zamo (X): chaque descendeur conserve son flambeau durant toute la descente. De plus, ce n'est pas une course mais une sorte de défilé nocturne. cf photo www.esf-latania.com/fr/animation.htm sous le titre animations

  -> effectivement je me suis trompée - pas réveillée. J'ai déja assisté à une descente aux flambeaux et je connais le terme.
