It was first a small village in the middle ages. The old city, it\u2019s heart and soul, still retains old houses and small alleyways from those tumultuous times. An old ruined Chateau looks high from above. Ollioules is situated at the mouth of an impressive limestone gorge. It was actually the only road between Toulon and Marseille back in the days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of this village is rich and exciting including a medieval Jewish neighborhood and one young Napoleon who made a name for himself here.

Why? Because Ollioules takes its name from Oliva, Olivier, and the city\u2019s coat of arms is an olive tree, the honored tree of Provence. Ollioules has a long history of olive oil making and it is said her olive oil reached as far as Alexandria in Egypt (thanks to Napoleon?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The olive, is widely used by local artisans in the manufacturing of olive oil, but also in tapenade, or to eaten with garlic, fennel, etc &#8230; The &#8220;F\u00eate of the Olive Tree&#8221; is an opportunity to discover or rediscover the cultivation and significance of the olive tree. On a side note, just to make you understand how important the olive tree is here, all new born Ollioules babies receive their own baby olive tree to plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An olive tree for each resident taken care by the important association \u201cFriends of the Olive Tree\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_165853572_HDR-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5733\" data-link=\"https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/img_20191005_165853572_hdr\" class=\"wp-image-5733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_165853572_HDR-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_165853572_HDR-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_165853572_HDR-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_165853572_HDR.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0135-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5728\" data-link=\"https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/dsc_0135\" class=\"wp-image-5728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0135-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0135-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0135-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/DSC_0135.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_171654825-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"5734\" data-link=\"https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/img_20191005_171654825\" class=\"wp-image-5734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_171654825-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_171654825-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_171654825-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/floatinginprovence.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191005_171654825.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The biggest event of the year<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For two days, the city is decorated with olive trees, olive branches and all things olive. The old city is closed to traffic and this small place offers thousands of visitors a lesson in Provencal traditions. Proven\u00e7al folk groups animate the streets with the sound of the galoubets and tambourines. Traditional dance shows are also on the program for the festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"F\u00eate de l&#039;Olivier in Ollioules Provencal Folk Band\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h-Y71ejjGhI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><strong>Happy and catchy \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Fete de l&#039;Olivier Dancing Provencal Troupe\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mx8vaksIY6Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From one stall to another, you can explore the old city, and all your senses will be awakened by these exhibitions of Proven\u00e7al heritage. You will of course find olives for sale, with tastings and all kinds of olive oil goodies to spread your baguette with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beside these stands, you will also find artisans offering Proven\u00e7al specialties such as candied fruits, olive wood carvings, Proven\u00e7al biscuits, santons de Provence, Provence honey, fig-based products, cheeses, sausages, and of course the famous nougat. Proven\u00e7al gastronomy is not the only specialty to be present. We can also find Marseille soaps, lavender essential oils, paintings on canvas, toys for children. Workshops are offered from pottery to chocolate candy making, and the famous aioli making competition. Over one hundred stands are present and perhaps it is better you view the gallery below as a picture is worth a thousand words!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped
