Santo-Estello

The Santo-Estello is the Félibrige Congress-Festival, held every year since 1876 in a different town in the Pays d'Oc (32 départements in the south of France).

This annual 5-day cultural and festive event aims to promote regional culture. Concerts, meetings, conferences, theater, debates, shows and other events are organized for the general public.


The town hosting the Santo-Estello becomes the capital of the Pays d'Oc, showcasing the traditions and artistic creations of the region.
Saint-Tropez hosted the event for the first time in 1955, and has offered to host it again from June 6 to 10, 2025.
