About

Possibility of participating in a guided tour of this path (discovery booklet of the Regional Natural Park of the Var)
Visit of the Ste Maxime chapel where a mass is held every year for the May 16th pilgrimage. After the mass, the Quinsonnais ask for the blessing of the genet which they keep preciously until the following year. There are very beautiful Provençal songs in honor of Saint Maxime, the patron saint of the village.
