Tourist in Seguret

Seguret is one of "The Most Beautiful Villages of France". 154 towns are counted here.
The commune has only about 900 inhabitants and only a part of them live in the small village. 
The streets are very narrow and only local people dare to drive into them by car. 
There is a big parking area outside the wall/gate. See map of the village.
The houses of the town are well restored. Tourism brings some wealth for the inhabitants.

Seguret is not situated at the top of a hill but at the lower part and up along the hillside. You will discover the slope if you walk from the parking area to the very good restaurant La Table du Comtat situated at the highest point of the town.
The top of the "mountain" above Seguret is called Sommier and it reaches an altitude of 424 metres.

The commune covers 21 km2. The range of altitude is from 124 m to 424 m.
These differences make it possible to have a great view of the surrounding area if you walk up in the area east of the town.
Maybe you can get some ideas by studying a map of the town or of the surrounding area - from IGN (3040 ET) (Can be printed on A4)

In 1932 Syndicat des Vignerons de Séguret was founded to take care of the interests of the wine growers and to secure the quality of the wines from the town.
In the period of 1682-1792 a brotherhood existed in the town but it faded away in the shadows of the French revolution. 
In 1985 the syndicat decided to restore the brotherhood and La Confrérie des Chevaliers du Gouste Seguret - Companions de Saint-Vincent were created. The brotherhood organizes some of the annual activities in the town:

Fête Provencale et Vigneronne - Second Sunday in August.
Ban des Vendange - The beginning of September
Presentation of the last vintage - Sunday before Christmas.

Other annual events you can meet as a tourist:

Third weekend in July: Fête Votive
Firsth week in August: Musique dans les vignes
Third Sunday in August: Marché des Potiers
July - August and December - January: Exposition of santons in Chapelle Sainte Thècle
