What makes an adventure? For many, it’s all about exploring a new place, water, or summit and the journey that takes them there.

There is no better setting for a celebration of our natural environment - of rivers and wild food - than L’Oasis. An ancient walled garden, L’Oasis is lined with fig trees and is abundant with persimmon, apricot, cherries, green gauges, olive trees, and vegetables galore. In every sense, food is at the core of the River Summit & Festival and L’Oasis will bear fruits of many kind for this year’s special event.

Rivers are the arteries of the land, supplying life-giving water to flora, fauna, and us. We live next to rivers all over the world. Chalabre, for example, is fed by three rivers; the Blau, the Chalabriel, and the Hers. But we are abusing our rivers and threatening their health and well-being.
