Saint-Michel Festival | Charm of Provence & French Riviera

Celebrating the patron saint

The Saint-Michel Festival dates from the Middle Ages.
Like the Foire de la Laine (Wool Fair), Les Feux de la Saint-Jean and the Fête du Village (Village Festival), it is one of the cornerstones of Grimaud tradition. A highlight that hasn’t faded over the years…

The symbolism of this heritage festival is strong, with a car-boot sale and craft market taking place at Grimaud’s two squares.

The celebrations wouldn’t be complete without the folklore group, Escandihado. Fifes, drums and traditional dance join the Provençal mass and the procession before the finale at the village’s Place Neuve.
This festive day, a blend of religious tradition and less-religious activities, promises many more surprises!

Sunday 29th September 2024

Craft market & activities

The Saint-Michel Festival has always taken place on the last Sunday in September.
This year, it will offer once again the opportunity to delight your taste buds thanks to our taste artisans who place the spotlight on the local produce of Provence.

The day’s programme will be rounded off with entertainment including Provençal stilt-walkers, a giant aioli, Provençal dances and Provençal storytelling…

Car-boot sale

Throughout the day, there’ll be a huge car-boot sale in the centre of Grimaud.
A chance to sell anything you don’t need. Clothes you don’t wear any more, pottery, small household appliances, CDs and various other items… A good way of earning some cash in a friendly atmosphere.

Do you want to do some sorting before winter? Take part in the garage sale!
Arrival on site from 6.am , no prior registration required.
Price: €3 / linear metre.

There’s something for everyone!
