Fête de l’Orange
Podensac, a little commune (about 30 minutes south of Bordeaux) have been producing Lillet, a famous Bordeaux aperitif since 1872, which is orange based. Thus orange has always been a very important fruit for this region, to the extent that it requires a special celebration. And this little orange festival , that will take place at cours du Maréchal Foch in Podensac on 10-11 March does it in all forms: an orange market with tastings of different types of oranges and orange specialties, Bistrot de l’Orange, orange pancakes and more. Looks like a perfect activity with kids.
