Provence markets and festivities

1. Truffe en fête

Truffle festival

The most gourmet weekend of the winter is undoubtedly in Grimaud! In February, Truffe en fête and its fragrant market take over the Place Neuve.
The truffle is, of course, in the spotlight, with a host of gourmet stalls (cheeses, charcuterie, foie gras, wines, etc.) and craft stalls (knives, etc.) to accompany the “black diamond”.
The festival also includes a number of events, including demonstrations of “cavage” (searching for truffles), tours and cookery workshops.

2. Foire de la Laine

Wool Faire

A day to enjoy a crafts and producers market while surrounded by farm animals. The Foire de la Laine (Wool fair) is the place for you!
Every Ascension Day, food and craft stalls come together in Grimaud for a day of traditions in the May sunshine.

3. Fête du village

Village festival

In mid-August, on the last day of the village festival, a host of events take place, including Grimaud’s only night market of the summer, with over 50 hand-picked stallholders.
Producers and craftspeople present their products in a lively and jovial atmosphere.

4. Fête de la Saint-Michel

Saint-Michel Festival

The Fête de la Saint-Michel is the last traditional festival of the year, in honour of the town’s patron saint.
It is celebrated with a mass and a procession, followed by a market and a garage sale, echoing the expiry of the rural leases of yesteryear, which required everyone to move on Saint-Michel’s Day.
It’s a great opportunity to sort out your belongings and do some shopping on this last Sunday in September.

5. The organic market

On the second Sunday of every month, the organic and zero waste market invites you to enjoy a selection of organic, eco-friendly products.
It’s a fun place to be, with a shared kitchen and sometimes a repair café.

6. A Night in the Middle Ages

Les Médiévales de Grimaud, a recent event that’s already become a must-see!
Among the many events that will plunge you into medieval times, there’s a medieval market with around thirty exhibitors.
Children’s games and toys, old-fashioned products, food stalls… There’s no better reason to come to une Nuit au Moyen Âge at the end of August.

7. Farmers’ market

Every 3rd Saturday of the month, come to the Ranch de la Mène for a large farmers’ market.

In the middle of the countryside, enjoy the scenery in an ideal setting for shopping.

A ranch with rides, a saloon, a mini-farm and more are all waiting to be discovered!

8. Provence markets

If you love the traditional market and going with your basket in the morning to pick out the best seasonal fruit and vegetables, there’s plenty for you in Grimaud!

In the village on Thursdays all year round, and in Port Grimaud on Thursday and Sunday mornings from April to October.

9. Port Grimaud night-time market

It’s great to be back at the Port Grimaud night markets in July and August!
Stroll along the canals of Port Grimaud as night falls… Enjoy the view and the market crafts.
