Aups and its hills, land of siliceous limestone and dolomitic rocks, dotted with pines, oaks and olive trees enchant visitors. Situated at the gates of the Verdon gorges and the lake of Sainte-Croix, beyond its charm, this small town has a major asset; every Thursday morning, on the Place Frédéric Mistral, the truffle is in the spotlight and animates the eponymous market. From the last Thursday of November to the end of February, or even mid-March if production permits, do your shopping. Amateurs, experts or neophytes also meet at the Maison de la Truffe located in the Tourist Office, for an underground and mysterious discovery of the black diamond!
