The villages take turns to hold festivals in the summer, and every weekend there is one somewhere. These festivals contain a mixture of fairgound attractions and dancing to live music, and everyone stays up until the early hours, sometimes for three or four days at a time. There is a thriving community of local artists and exhibitions are held in all the villages. The village 'Place, is a place to meet the locals, and enjoy an aperitif in the shade of the plane trees or find the boule pitch and join in the local game.
