Collobrières is one of the emblematic chestnut villages of the Massif des Maures, and its Fêtes de la Châtaigne et du Terroir give that identity a full autumn expression. Across three Sundays, the village welcomes producers, artisans, old trades, tastings, folklore groups and visitors drawn by the season of the harvest. The chestnut is more than a flavour here: it belongs to wooded slopes, family know-how, rural economy and the memory of the Maures. Each date has its own emphasis, from Var producers to international delegations and traditional crafts. For a regional culture site, this event is one of the clearest examples of terroir becoming public celebration.
