Typical local celebrations

Several local associations keep on maintaining Provencal traditions alive and have an active part in the setting up of these celebrations.

Saint Eloi Celebrations
(Saint Eloi is the carters’ holy man), are celebrated between reaping and grape harvest: this is a very living tradition, every week-end of July and August, in each village or hamlet.
So take place Provencal 'cavalcades', which are parades with people dressed in Provencal costumes and mounted horses, decorated carts…
