During an entire Wednesday, breeders and shepherds meet at a rams’ auction and show of the finest sheep, sponsored by the Union for the Promotion of the Arles Merino (UPRA). Provence donkeys are also showcased. Under the control of the Uzes National Stud Farm, expert judges inspect the animals’ compliance with breed standards.
Competitions are regularly held to reward the finest specimens of these two species. This important traditional festival offers discovery opportunities for visitors, while professionals can purchase breeding animals of all types.
In addition, the Agricultural Fair held on St. Valentine’s Day features sales of agricultural equipment and regional produce. To enhance the enjoyment of the day, various entertainment activities, which differ from year to year, are planned: demonstrations of sheep dogs, sheep shearing demonstrations, pony or donkey rides, etc. Finally, on the Sunday preceding or following this event, the city also holds a flea market.
Throughout the year, the "Actualités" section (in French only) offers full information on upcoming events (programmes, timetables, venues, etc).
