Saveurs & Savoirs Festival - 4th edition

The must-attend gastronomy and culture event, where we celebrate not only good taste but also the meaning behind what we eat. In Uzès, chefs, authors, producers, and food enthusiasts come together to explore, share, and savor the experience.
The festival reaffirms its status as a must-attend event for socially conscious gastronomy in the South of France. Here, knives and ideas, recipes and convictions come together.
