The village revolves around the main square, where many festive events take place throughout the year: the soup festival<\/strong> in January, the corso fleuri<\/strong> and arts and crafts days <\/strong>in spring, the halles gourmandes, guinguettes and lively folk dances in summer, and of course the famous Olive Festival<\/strong> in autumn.
