Tarascon
shares with other provençal towns a capacity
for enjoyment which is particularly rich here. Folklore,
bullfighting and equestrian traditions mingle, from
both the Camargue and Provence. No fêtes can
take place in the Tarascon area without bulls being
involved, ferrades, abrivados, Camargue bullfights
follow the traditional folk dancing and the music
of the penas.
On
summer evenings, on the terraces of the cafés
or the bodegas, the crowd forgets the heat of the
sun thanks to a cool aniseed based drink. The ambiance
of Christmas is more intimate in Provence. Traditional
meals with the “13 desserts” on colourful
tables, midnight masses which you attend in a group
to see the crèche and the pastrage (the offering
of the lamb).
In
Tarascon, there is something happening
all year long. From january to December,
every month, there are exhibitions, traditional
events, fairs and markets which rhythm
the life of our town. Find our main events.
All
year long, the town is covered with flowers.
Exhibitions and festivals of flowers take
place in the streets, intoxicating perfumes
and colours for those who love nature
and gardens.
