38ème Fête de la Saint Eloi sur le thème “Le travail des femmes à la campagne”

Through the traditional carts, visitors will discover the skills and trades of days gone by: seed sowers, washerwomen, olive pickers, lace makers, wool spinners, schoolteachers, fruit and vegetable vendors—not to mention work in the vegetable garden, the barnyard, and the kitchen.

Highlights of this year’s event include:
- The sale of 400 blessed loaves of bread
- 2,000 free lavender sachets for the public
