In the interior, are three works by Rubens and one by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a French painter native of the town.

The first festival was on the 3 August–4 August 1946.

These days, it is a big event; decorated floats drive through the town, with young women in skimpy costumes on board, throwing flowers onto the crowds.
