Before the beads, balconies, and grand parades, there was the country road.
Le Courir celebrates the rural Cajun tradition of Courir de Mardi Gras—a lively journey through the countryside filled with hand-sewn costumes, towering capuchons, horses, music, laughter, and the spirited pursuit of a chicken for the communal gumbo.
Told through painterly vignettes, the design captures the movement and character of the courir: ribbons catching the winter wind, riders traveling beneath bare oaks, and neighbors gathering to continue a tradition passed from one generation to the next.
Joyful, unruly, and unmistakably Cajun, Le Courir honors a Mardi Gras that is not simply watched—it is lived.
