We spent the day at the Mimosa Festival in Biot. The Mimosa Festival is a celebration for the first flowers of spring, the mimosas, are in bloom (a sweet smelling yellow flower). We saw different groups of dancers perform with accompany bands (trumpets, drums, tuba, accordions, triangle,etc.) Sean loved seeing the trumpets and tuba. We bought Sarah confetti, so that she could throw it with the other kids.
We found a great cafe called Brun Cafe. The food was delicious. It was a very popular cafe, since a lot of people were turned away because the cafe was full.

We lasted most of the festival 11am to 3pm. We only missed the last two hours. Mark and I were impressed how long the kids lasted. They could have stayed the whole time but we were done. There were several locals selling their goods. We bought lemon Cello,an orange wine, and a red wine. The orange wine is supposed to be for the aperitif, so that will be fun to try.
Also we found another glass blower who had a good deal for a set of 8 glasses with a pitcher so we couldn't pass that up since the glass was unique and beautiful!
Overall, we enjoyed the Fete!
