This Picard-language storytelling walk brings oral tradition into the landscape of Boves. Mariel Demaye leads participants through tales that are playful, strange and close to nature, giving the regional language a living setting rather than a purely nostalgic one. The route through the Étang Saint-Ladre reserve adds another layer: the stories are heard while walking through a place shaped by water, paths and local ecology. The event is a clear fit for regional culture because language, memory and landscape support each other in a simple, accessible format.
