The Great Tour of the Regions

February 12 to 16, 2025

En 2025, the Mimosa Festival, orchestrated by the City of Mandelieu-La Napoule, is scheduled from 12 to 16 February and will have for theme: The Great Tour of the Regions.

The theme of this new edition proposes to take a tour of the carnival traditions and parades that punctuate the calendar of the French Regions: from the Provençals to the Basques, from the Corsicans to the Bretons, from the Normans to the Savoyards, from the Antilles to the Ch'tis...!

This great musical, colorful, joyful, festive, creative and popular festival takes over the city for 5 days; the highlight: the spectacular Sunday parade of more than 2 kilometers between the beaches, the Port and the Château de La Napoule. The Mimosa Festival of Mandelieu will open the calendar of major winter festivals on the Côte d'Azur, followed by the Nice Carnival and the Lemon Festival of Menton.

Did you know ?
Since 1931, Mandelieu has celebrated the most wintry of Côte d'Azur plants: the MIMOSA. Symbol of the winter sun on the French Riviera, from December to March, the mimosa spreads its downy coat on the Tanneron hill, considered the largest mimosa forest in Europe. Thus, for almost 100 years, Mandelieu has been recognized as THE CAPITAL OF MIMOSA and invites visitors to enjoy a sunny winter whose colours oscillate between the blue of the Mediterranean, the ochre of the Esterel and the yellow of the Tanneron massif.

During the flowering period, the Mandelieu Tourist Office offers multiple activities on the theme of mimosa. The opportunity for a gentle winter stay in the colors of the Côte d'Azur!
