The Roanne-Thiers night walk was created on the first weekend of December 1 by Lucien Clairet, Henri Disson and Gustave Fontaine, following a bet. As the story goes, Lucien Clairet, after a cinema screening, suggested that his 1925 friends take an aperitif… in Thiers! Without knowing the destination beforehand, the 2 friends accept and will take up the challenge of joining Thiers on foot.
In the following years, a small group of friends kept this meeting going. In 1935, an association was created “the Groupe Montagnard Roannais” to give scope to the event. Almost 100 years later, the one that was the first walk from City to City, today has a national reputation that welcomes up to 1500 participants at each edition.
