Brignoles: Your Summer Food Destination Southeastern France
Brignoles, France, known as a massive market town, is found in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. It served as the base for the homes of the Counts of Provence back in the days, but today, the city is a famous producer of honey, olives, and peaches. Brignoles is also home to fine wine and a thriving agricultural sector.

The town experiences roughly 3000 hours of sunshine annually, with June to August having the hottest temperatures of around 30°C. This makes the perfect setting for a handful of events in the town, two of which are the Brignoles Jazz Festival and the Medieval Festival held in August. There is also a yearly wine festival, called Foire de Brignoles, held in April, so expect these months to be busy for most of the Brignoles hotels.
