LE FESTIN DES COUGOURDONS

Introduced in France in the sixteenth century, the couchery is an unedible vegetable of the cucurbitacea family that quickly had the favor of the niçois. Impermeable after drying, it is used as a kitchen utensile but its original shape also inspired many craftsmen and musicians. Today, it gives rise to a great feast of popular festivals. It is usually on the last Sunday in March that we meet under the olive trees of the Jardin des Arènes de Cimiez to discover this atypical vegetable and to drink a few glasses to the sound of traditional music proposed by the Japanese choirs. Family celebration becomes an essential part of local life, the festival of the cougourgift announces the arrival of the beautiful days and plunges you into a convivial and typical atmosphere at the rhythm of the folk dances. Unfailing for all lovers of the city's culture.
