Provence is a land of traditions and Grimaud is no exception! Every year, in mid-August, Grimaud is in a festive mood!
The origin of this festival is lost in past centuries. Initially, religious since it is based on the celebrations of August 15 dedicated to the Virgin, it is also the village festival, marked, in the Middle Ages, by a large agricultural fair in the park of the Notre Dame de la Queste Chapel. Breeders and merchants came from all over the Gulf to sell and buy numerous goods and livestock.
It was also an occasion for celebrations, enlivened by music and dances, which remained anchored in the hearts of the inhabitants. This is why, today, from land to sea, we perpetuate this village festival by celebrating tradition, whether religious with masses and processions, festive with balls, shows and fireworks, or still culinary with the gourmet moment at La Queste.
