Chestnut and local produce festival

Three autumn Sundays to celebrate in the heart of the Massif des Maures! Join us on Sundays 11, 18 and 25 October in Collobrières!

Every year in autumn, at chestnut harvest time, Collobrières becomes the chestnut capital of the Var. The Fêtes de la Châtaigne, the village's signature event, is back for three festive Sundays on 11, 18 and 25 October 2026!
