Sault’s Fête de la Lavande is one of the great lavender gatherings of the Ventoux country. Held at the Hippodrome du Défends, it celebrates the end of the lavender season with producers, demonstrations, local products, music, meals and the generous atmosphere of a Provençal summer day. The setting matters: Sault sits above lavender fields and high plateaus where the plant is not a postcard but an agricultural reality. The festival allows visitors to meet that reality through growers, fragrance, machinery, craft and shared food. It is a strong terroir event because it connects landscape, labour and pleasure without losing the local scale that gives it meaning.

Fête des Saveurs du Parc du Ventoux à Sault
The Fête des Saveurs du Parc du Ventoux in Sault gathers the tastes of a distinctive mountain-Provence territory. Lavender, honey, spelt, cheeses, fruit, herbs and other local products are not presented as souvenirs, but as the result of landscapes, seasons and producers working around the Ventoux. The festival’s value is its sense of scale: it belongs to a natural regional park and to villages where food culture is inseparable from altitude, wind, stone and dry fields. Visitors can use the event as a compact introduction to the Ventoux table and to the people who keep it alive. It is a terroir event with a clear regional identity.
Champignons en fête à Saint-Trinit
Champignons en fête suits Saint-Trinit and the Albion plateau perfectly. Mushrooms bring together ecology, local knowledge, cuisine and the pleasure of seasonal discovery. The village gathering highlights a quieter form of heritage: knowing where things grow, how to identify them, how to cook them, and how the calendar of the land shapes everyday life. In a small community, the festival creates a bridge between mycology, terroir and conviviality. It offers an autumnal face of Provence, far from summer clichés and close to the textures of woods, plateau paths, baskets, recipes and shared advice. The mood is modest, knowledgeable and closely tied to place.
