In this follow-up survey of traditional customs in May Day Festivals, such as the maypole and the selection of a May Queen which are described in Le folklore francais(1949) by A. V. Gennep, it was found that some places no longer practice these customs while other areas continue to. A total of four places in France, including Provence, continue to hold the events and it was observed that the involvement of a certain charismatic individual was central to event survival. The syncretization of folk customs and saint veneration was also noted in the dynamics of event continuation. In Southwest England, May festivities such as hobbyhorse festivals are still held today. Its mixture of sacred and secular elements, including the development of the event as a tourist attraction, was seen as a contrast between the UK and France.

在对A. V. Gennep的《法国民间传说》（1949）中描述的五月节传统习俗，如五月花柱和选出五月女王等的跟踪调查中，发现有些地方已经不再实行这些习俗了。而其他领域仍在继续。包括普罗旺斯在内的法国共有四个地方继续举办这些活动，据观察，某个有魅力的个人的参与对于活动的生存至关重要。民俗与圣人崇拜的融合也体现在活动延续的动态中。在英格兰西南部，木马节等五月庆祝活动至今仍在举行。其神圣与世俗元素的混合，包括将该活动发展为旅游景点，被视为英国和法国之间的对比。
