“La Fête de l’oranger” at le Bar sur Loup
The "Fête de l'oranger" at Bar sur Loup, a very pretty traditional festival to start spring on the Côte d'Azur.
Created now a quarter of a century ago, the Orange Blossom Festival of Bar sur Loup, our village and therefore the one where we have our holiday cottages near Cannes www.locations-06.fr, puts the spotlight every year on this beautiful orange fruit with bitter flavours which constitutes the DNA of our village.
Every Easter Monday, the appointment is given. The village is transforming, going from a small, somewhat dormitory village on the outskirts of the city of Grasse to a meeting place for a one-day party.
That day, the city of orange trees adorns itself with its most beautiful orange-colored clothes. the tone is set, the party will be lively and colorful!
A large craft market, all day long, will await visitors in the squares and streets of the village.
Cooperage workshop, still distillation, farm animals, column cutting, dry stone wall construction demonstrations, wanderings, brass bands, guided tour of the village, music and theater will await visitors throughout the day.
Every year, Mrs. Françoise Gras, head of the Jehanne Rigaud perfumery in Bar sur Loup, offers us her fragrant creations. La Maison Venturini treats us to the best fougassettes from Grasse, pizzas, pissaladières, etc. While others offer us socca, homemade jewelry, artisanal biscuits, aromatic herbs, bookmarks, fruit plants, artisanal clothing, essential oils or iron weather vanes.
This year, 2025, Terroir-06 will be there to offer you all its delicious products.
Our whole family, under the leadership of our son Guilhem Codera, has passionately thrown itself into the agricultural adventure that was once that of our parents and grandparents.
Terroir-06 cultivates citrus fruits (oranges, mandarins, clementines, yuzu, lemons, etc.) and aromatic and medicinal plants (verbena, orange blossom, centifolia rose, mimosa, lavender, etc.) in a natural and organic way in Bar sur Loup and its surroundings and transforms them into wonderful original products (orange blossom water, flavored honeys, syrups, preserves, jams, etc.) to be discovered during a free tasting on the day of the festival and on our website www.terroir-06.fr
So I just have to invite you to the “Orange Festival”!
