FEAST OF COUGOURDONS
26 MARCH 2023 - 11AM

GARDEN OF THE ARENAS OF CIMIEZ

Festival of one of the emblems of the culture of Nice, the cougourdon, inedible vegetable but used in many ways: kitchen utensils, decoration or musical instruments.

The "Feast of Courgourdons" takes its name from the market that was held on the church square in front of the monastery of Cimiez.

The "cougourdon" is the name given to the fruit of a plant of the cucurbit family.

This inedible vegetable, introduced in our region in the sixteenth century, was quickly adopted by the people of Nice for its own qualities: waterproof after drying in the sun, it is often used as a kitchen utensil.
Its original forms inspire craftsmen. Often painted, it is also engraved with geometric patterns or interlacing giving it an aesthetic and decorative dimension.
The musicians also detect in this atypical vegetable a strong musical potential.

It continues to inspire musicians and artists from Nice who perpetuate and revisit the tradition of the "cougourdon".
