Cavaillon (84 Vaucluse, Provence) is one of the major centres of Melon production in France – and on the weekend of 11-12 July 2009 the town celebrates its gastronomic delights with the Fete du Melon.
With music, dancing, processions of donkeys, ponies and horsement, and plenty of opportunities to try Melon in its many guises (jams, sauces, liqueurs etc) and buy from the Melon market, The Cavaillon melon tends to be smaller but more flavoursome than say, a honeydew melon.
Cavaillon is also well-situated for visiting Avignon, St Remy de Provence and the Luberon area – some of the best of Provence.
