About this event


⚠️ Event concluded. Please check our updated agenda to discover new activities in this region.

In Château-Gombert, Saint-Éloi remains a deeply Provençal village celebration inside the northern districts of Marseille. The feast brings together horses, decorated carts, traditional dress and the local associations that keep this quarter’s identity alive. Its strength is the contrast between metropolitan Marseille and a village calendar that has not disappeared: the rhythm is still that of blessing, procession, music, costume and public gathering. For anyone interested in regional culture, the event shows how Provençal traditions survive in specific neighbourhoods, carried by families, riders, volunteers and folk groups rather than by spectacle alone. Château-Gombert’s Saint-Éloi is local memory in motion.
