Every two years, Estavayer-le-Lac, known as "la Cité à la Rose", celebrates its floral emblem during the Rose Festival. The town is transformed into a flower garden where the rose takes pride of place.
The Rose Festival transforms the medieval alleyways into a veritable showcase of greenery, enhanced by flower beds. It also brings them to life with events, lectures and concerts. The market offers a fine selection of roses and a variety of related products.
