Violet Festival: Held annually for over 70 years, it was founded in 1952 by Victor Linton, a Scottish artist and goldsmith who resided in Tourrettes-sur-Loup. On the first weekend of March, the village's streets come alive from early morning with musical performances and local dances, followed by a flower-filled parade in the afternoon.

Flavored Delights: Violets are also treasured in confectionery. The craftsmanship of the last three violet producers is a legacy passed down through generations. Nestled in nature along the Loup River, Confiserie Florian honors these artisans by crafting delicacies with care and dedication.
