There are still two working olive oil mills in town, including one which allows tours. In December of every year there is a festival celebrating the end of the harvest and the new oil, with a small parade and the benediction of the oil, along with various markets. Wednesday is market day. The small tourism office in town supplies a list of all of the market days in the area. In winter the market here is much larger than in the other towns in the area (Maussane, Aureille or Eygalières). • Illustration — market in Mouriès, Cours Paul Revoil • Illustration — market in Mouriès, Cours Paul Revoil • Illustration — market in Mouriès, Cours Paul Revoil • Illustration — market in Mouriès, Cours Paul Revoil • Illustration — marché dans Mouriès, Cours Paul Revoil, Café de l'Avenir, which has been existing at least since 1900 • Illustration — market in Mouriès, Cours Paul Revoil • Illustration — market in Mouriès, Cours Paul Revoil • Illustration — market in Mouriès, Cours Paul Revoil
