The Sweet Chestnut Festival

The breadfruit tree "the sweet chestnut", emblematic of the Cevennes since the XVIIth century, which grows easily on poor soil is the cultural reference of our Cevennes valleys and thus also of Anduze! On the acidic terrain of the first slopes at the gateway to the Cevennes, the sweet chestnut is ever present. "Castanea piquage de bajanas stiva" is a native species on which in ancient times the monks, who first cultivated this land, applied their early farming techniques. The festival programme includes :  piquage de bajanas (presentation of old materials), "los bajanas" (bleached sweet chestnuts), "brasucade" (grilled sweet chestnuts).

The Christmas Market
