The context: <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Le Bar-sur-Loup is a village located 350 meters above sea level, in the Pr\u00e9alpes d\u2019Azur Natural Parc. The municipality has today almost 3 000 inhabitants and offers a very specific soil for citrus fruits cultivation.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of agricultural lands, mainly on the heights of the village. Many citrus fruits were cultivated in the early 1900\u2019s such as sweet orange, bitter orange, lemon, kumquat and pomelo.<\/p>\n

A local orange celebration takes place every year, with special events showing the different applications of the fruit.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, local production of citrus fruit is declining and the village would like to revitalize and raise awareness among the citrus fruits.<\/p>\n
