Vallabrègues (French pronunciation: [valabʁɛɡ]; Occitan: Valabrega) is a commune in the Gard department in southern France.
Its closest town is Tarascon, where the Festival of the Tarasque monster is held every year on the last Sunday of June.
People enjoy playing pétanque, or boules in the sandy areas under shady trees near the town center.
They hold a festival every year during the month of August and home-made baskets are displayed in the street and on front of houses.
This is why, in 1990, Vallabrègues decided to hold a festival and parade every year, bringing basket-makers from all over Europe in a giant fair that gives an identity to an otherwise seemingly typical Provence town.
