THE MIMOSA FESTIVAL, THE TRUE EMBLEM OF MANDELIEU
More concentrated, more festive, always joyful and popular, the Mimosa Festival will take place in the town’s neighbourhoods, which will see the colourful, flower-filled corsos parade past. In the heart of Mandelieu – on the Place de France – festival-goers will be able to meet up, not forgetting the historic mimosa district: Capitou and the seaside district of La Napoule.
On the programme: Parades, light parades, flower corsos, children’s carnival, entertainment, strolls, exhibitions, lively squares, street and market flower displays, all on the theme of this new edition! Take a tour of the carnival traditions and corsos that punctuate the calendar of the French regions: from the Provençal to the Basque, from the Corsican to the Breton, from the Norman to the Savoyard, from the Antilles to the Ch’tis…! Five days of intense festivities that will allow the public to share, enjoy and celebrate the mimosa, the symbol of winter sunshine on the Côte d’Azur.
The Tourist Office will be the meeting point for a host of suggestions for hikes, discoveries of the Tanneron – the largest mimosa forest in Europe – sales of mimosa-related products, ticket purchases for access to the corsos… The mimosa specialities offered by talented Mandolucian culinary creators will be in season. The programme will be rounded off with heritage tours of the Château de La Napoule and botanical tours of Mandelieu’s parks and gardens. At the same time, Mandelieu-La Napoule is stepping up its mimosa flower display on the town’s main thoroughfares.
