Interesting and Lost Customs
There are plenty of old customs that have vanished over the years. Years ago, it was commonplace for a man to remove his hat before entering a home or building. Hats were not worn indoors. That custom no longer exist today. Long ago before telephones were commonplace and when la vieille Azema, a mid-wife, delivered a baby, the proud papa would take down his shotgun from the rack above the door and fire it to announce the arrival. Bang! Bang! Un bal pour une fille; deux bals pour un garçon. Bang! Bang! (One round for a girl, two rounds for a boy.)
