Every year, flocks of ewes take up residence in the Sainte-Baume, Regagnas and Garlabanmassifs. Their aim: to graze and clear the undergrowth in our natural areas, thereby helping to combat the risk of wildfire. Transhumance in the Pays d’Aubagne is more than just a pastoral tradition; it represents a real ecological challenge for the Provence region. By enabling the regeneration of flora, the movement of herds promotes biodiversity and preserves local ecosystems.
The communes ofAuriol, Saint-Zacharie and Belcodène invite you and your family to come and meet these herds during an unforgettable morning of workshops, activities, photo booths and hot drinks to chat with the shepherds. It’s a fun way for your children to learn about the importance of transhumance in preserving our environment.
A cultural and educational experience not to be missed!
