The Félibrige is a literary and cultural association founded by Frédéric Mistral and other Provençal writers to defend and promote the Provençal language and Provençal literature.
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.
Félibrige now promotes Occitan culture.
