A festival rooted in the heart of Buis-les-Baronnies

Every summer, Buis-les-Baronnies celebrates its local emblem: the linden tree, star of infusions, fragrant alleyways and ancestral know-how. Once again this year, the Fête du Tilleul, a not-to-be-missed tourism event in the Baronnies Provençales, offers you :

  • a Provencal market dedicated to aromatic plants and natural products (herbal teas, syrups, cosmetics…).
  • guided botanical walks
  • the chapter of the Chevaliers du Tilleul brotherhood (yes, it exists! And it’s as funny as it is solemn!)
  • wellness workshops, natural cosmetics and vegetable prints
  • fascinating conferences
  • and a great dose of live music starting at 5 p.m.
