There are many cultural attractions to choose from, the following being of particular interest

Jazz et Bouf festival – 19 - 23 July

This is the sixth year that the local villages have organised this event. If you like your jazz combined with the local cuisine of Raphaël from La Bergerie de Raphaël in Vallandry, then this is probably your highlight of the summer!  The music starts and the street party takes over.  Tickets do need to be reserved in advance. If you want to reserve, please contact us.

Montagnettes et Gourmandises – 22 - 29 July

Daily visits to sample and collect the local delicacies, visit the workshops and markets and have an evening tasting the various local dishes.

Merveilleux Champignons – 12 - 19 August
