The mayor of Cordes-sur-Ciel inaugurated the "Stanko Kristic" garden, formerly known as the Garden of Ramps. STANKO KRISTIC is now a "plural sculptor". His philosophy: the pleasure of creating personal and original works that follow the inspiration of the moment.

In July, you will be transported back to the Middle Ages during the two-day festival of the great falconer. The programme includes a costumed banquet, a ball, a medieval market, parades and many entertainment related to the era. Gourmets will delight in the crispy biscuits from Cordes. Made from almonds, egg whites and sugar, they taste simply heavenly!
