The Félibrige (more aptly Felibritge, pronounced [feliˈβridʒe] in Occitan) is a literary and cultural association founded in the mid-19th century by Frédéric Mistral and other Provençal writers to defend and promote Occitan language and literature. It is presided over by a capolièr.
It was founded on 21 May 1854 in Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne (Vaucluse), by Frédéric Mistral, Joseph Roumanille, Théodore Aubanel, Jean Brunet, Paul Giéra, Anselme Mathieu and Alphonse Tavan.
The word félibrige is derived from félibre, a Provençal word meaning pupil or follower.
