For something a little more traditional then the pretty town of Le Lavandou will have their annual Fete du Romerage. This is a religious celebration that is accompanied by folk dancing and music, the type of village festival common in French towns. The procession takes participants from the church of Saint-Louis to the chapel of Saint-Clair, through the beach, accompanied by folk music and dancing. It all ends with three short theatre pieces. There is also a popular Italian communal meal.

Throughout the month you can enjoy the fantastic colourful sculptures of Niki de Saint Phalle in the streets of Saint Tropez.
