Tutti Frutti
Events in the orchards
The orchard is a natural space. It is an opportunity to relax and spend pleasant moments with friends, colleagues or family. It can also be a place of meeting and exchange for the inhabitants of the neighbourhood.
When the fruit is ripe, harvested and possibly processed locally, the orchard becomes a place of conviviality in the urban environment. Fruit trees also give us an insight into the nature of our region.
On this page you will find a list of activities, events and other activities taking place in the orchards of the Minett UNESCO Biosphere. These events will allow you to discover the orchards of the 11 PRO-SUD municipalities.
