The International Piano Festival of La Roque d’Anthéron was born in 1981 after the meeting of two men: Paul Onoratini and Rene Martin. In 1981, the first notes rose in the park of the Florans Castle. They were played by the most famous pianists: Martha Argerich, Krystian Zimmermann, Zoltan Kocsis…
From the first edition, with hardly 12 programmed concerts, the Festival gained it's letters of nobility. The press already had announced La Roque d’Anthéron as an unavoidable village for pianists and music lovers alike.

To celebrate the start of summer with a delicious treat, La Roque d'Anthéron celebrates Cherry and Provençal folklore throughout a Sunday in June. There was a time when the village's cherry market was famous in the whole region.
To pay tribute to this tradition, the association Les Minots, create this event, bringing together the inhabitants every year in June. Everyone can taste and buy delicious provencal cherries, enjoy the traditional costumes and all the traditions associated with Provençal folklore.
At the same time, multiple activities and shows punctuate this beautiful event.
La Roque d’Anthéron is one of the unique places in France where you will be able to see a breeding ground of the famous Lipizzaner white horse.
Lipizzaner, who are you?
The Lipizzaner horse is renowned for its kindness. One can safely ride a Lipizzaner. It is very enduring, spontaneous, generous and frank. It is known universally, mainly through the Spanish school of Vienna where the traditions of horsemanship were preserved.
A particular breeding
Gerard and Christian Philip have always lived with horses and discovered Lipizzaners in 1982. Allured by this imperial horse, then very rare in France, they decide to develop their breeding , with 20 different mares and 5 stallions. Their farm is currently classified among larger european private breeding farms.
All their horses originate in the farm of Piber in Austria and are descendants or nearest relatives of the famous stallions of the Spanish school of Vienna.
The Country Roque Festival has welcomed thousands of fans of Country Music, coming mainly from France, but also from abroad for 9 on-going years .
