The Agropol'Eat association's annual day of festivities took place on Sunday June 30, 2024.

The program includes strolls, entertainment, activities, exhibitions, tastings and reflections on the evolution of the site, in the shady setting of the banks of the Lez, under the trees or on the forecourt of the former Henri de Lunaret Orphanage, an agricultural apprenticeship center.
