The Sainte-Maxime festivities

At the beginning of August, in memory of Saint-Donat, a pilgrimage is organized to the 15th century chapel of the same name. Many rural, bucolic and fun activities are organized in the city. In November, take part in the oil and olive festival, for a real dive into Provençal culture. Christmas is an important tradition in Provence, everything begins with the Festival of Light during which wheat is planted, then ends on Christmas Eve with the Gros Souper and the famous thirteen desserts.

The Verdon Gorges
