Annual event that takes place in March to celebrate spring
The Violet Festival is celebrated at the end of the violet season and celebrates spring. The village streets will be full of activity from 10:00, with music and dance.
The whole village will be filled with flowers and the sweet scent of violets signalling early spring. A Floral Procession starts in the early afternoon. The day ends with the Flower Battle, which everyone can take part in.
Tourrettes sur Loup
This event began in the village back in 1952. Violet production was the village’s main agricultural activity since as far back as 1880. Today, the only place that the Victoria variety is cultivated is in Tourrettes-sur-Loup. It can be identified by a simple petalled flower, with a strong fragrance, standing on a long peduncle of around 25cm.
