Theatre Festival: Couple in Danger
Beware: a movie, even one watched on TV, can change a life! Didier and Karine will learn this the hard way. This young couple, despite being very close, will they be able to withstand « the time that plays, that does its work »? She dreams of living a passion like Meryl Streep in Clint Eastwood’s romantic drama The Bridges of Madison County; he tries to understand, to give in to her whims… to no avail!
Between cinematic romance and daily life, the difference is vast. But, as Eric Assous whispers to us, reality can be even more beautiful. A tribute to life, to women and men, « of very different sexes, but so complementary. »
Organized by the Culture and Heritage Service of the Grimaud Town Hall at 5:30 PM in the Beausoleil Hall.

Friday, January 31st to Sunday, February 2nd: Truffle Market
In the heart of Grimaud, experience a large market dedicated to the truffle for three days, featuring numerous activities.
Place Neuve in Grimaud will transform into a grand gastronomic and artisanal market centered around an exceptional product: the truffle.
In a warm and friendly atmosphere, you’ll have the chance to discover or rediscover the treasures of our local heritage. A true seasonal delicacy, the truffle holds a special place in the hearts of people from the Var region.
It beautifully enhances the region’s flagship products, and it’s no coincidence that many of our restaurants feature it prominently in their winter menus.
During this event, you’ll find numerous high-quality exhibitors, artisans, producers, and creators, all showcasing truffles and other exceptional products: wines, oysters, chocolate… indulgence is guaranteed!
There will also be plenty of activities: truffle hunting demonstrations by trained truffle dogs, live music, a raffle, culinary tastings, guided tours, and more.
The detailed schedule for these three gourmet days will be revealed as the event approaches.
Organized by the Grimaud Tourist Office at Place Neuve.
