Noël a cap(p)ella with Les Métaboles
Les Métaboles bring an a cappella selection of Christmas carols to Arc-et-Senans. Léo Warynski draws on lesser-known collections from Latin America and Africa, placing them alongside European and Caribbean songs. Antillean carols he sang as a child give the programme a personal thread, joining newly encountered scores with music that left a lasting impression on him.
Hospices de Beaune: Building a New Hospital
Aurélie Waller, Head of Works at the Hospices Civils de Beaune, examines how hospital architecture responds to changing care. The visit and discussion connect the construction of a new hospital with the project of Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins. From the Hôtel-Dieu’s “palace for the poor” to the Centre hospitalier Philippe le Bon, buildings reveal different ambitions for treating patients.
Hospices de Beaune: Preserving Hospital Heritage
Hospital heritage in Beaune unfolds through guided walks, talks and encounters with costumed hospital sisters carrying medical instruments and apothecary jars. Sister Louise Duchini recounts changes in nursing and relationships with patients. Conservation specialists explain the protection of the collections and the creation of a facsimile of the Last Judgement polyptych using digital techniques.

Build a picnic course by course from producer stalls in Dijon. Gougère, Charolais beef and Époisses appear among the choices, alongside a selection of Comté, Époisses and Charolais cheeses. Les Produits Gourmands de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté brings the producers together, with blind cheese tasting and a seasoning workshop adding ways to compare flavours and make a personal spice blend.
