Don't miss the 36th edition of the Alicoque festival, which takes place in Nyons from Thursday January 30 to Sunday February 2.
L'Huile Nouvelle is celebrated every year in Nyons. On this occasion, the Confrérie des Chevaliers de l'Olivier perpetuates an ancient tradition: the tasting of freshly pressed oil on croutons rubbed with Drôme garlic, copiously drizzled with Nyons new olive oil.
The Grand Master of the Confrérie leads the traditional Alicoque ceremonies on Sunday, February 2. See you on Place duDr Bourdongle.
But there's plenty going on all weekend long!
- the olive and local produce market
- guided tours of the mills
- olive oil cookery workshops
- guided tours of the olive orchards ... or a foot race for the more sporty
- concerts, Provencal dances, painting competitions, etc.
