The Jour de Pain is Berbiguiere's annual 'village fete', held on 14 July every year (Bastille Day or Fete Nationale), when one of the village homeowners allows the village to meet in his orchard for a communal meal, drinks and entertainment. Food is either prepared at home or cooked in the bread-oven of another neighbour and is then shared communally, everything is put onto tables and people just help themselves.
Usually the wine, water and aperos are provided by the Comite d'Animations and the whole thing is organised by the Comite, drafting in other volunteers to help with the work where they need them.
There is always entertainment, usually musical , which ranges from traditional music and dancing (as it was this year) to modern, international music (as it was in 2007).
