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 nice dose of live music from 6pm
