St Etienne d' Albagnan

St Etienne Saint-Etienne D'ALBAGNAN reflects the development of arboriculture on the Tops-Cantons. Road which leads you to Olargues avoids white flowers of the cherry trees spring, whereas summer sees reddening their fruits juicy . The farmers also turned to the production of sweet chestnut, formerly very widespread, the exploitations are today restricted. But, the area remains famous for its respect of popular traditions.
The commune regularly accomodates the pilgrimage of Our Lady of Trédos (Whit Monday and 1st Sunday of September).
With the museum of the trades of antan and popular traditions you will be able to admire what was the life of your parents while passing by the class of the schoolmaster, the workshop of shoe-maker, the blacksmith, the wet cooper, the sabotier.. Travel in the memory of an area which leaves to the visitor the print of the beauty of its inheritance, one time or art and the craft industry were .indissociable.
