Akoda ft Géraldine Laurent at Festival Éclats d’Émail
At the Théâtre de l’Union in Limoges, Akoda joins saxophonist Géraldine Laurent in the orbit of Festival Éclats d’Émail, a jazz setting known for sustained dialogue with artists from Nouvelle-Aquitaine and beyond. The concert draws on Creole and Caribbean rhythms, improvisation and a long-running ensemble sound, giving the festival a bright meeting point between jazz writing and island-inflected movement. That continuity is the strongest angle: Eclats d’Email is not only booking a group, but following an artistic path across several years.
Festival de la Luzege: Figaro Divorce in Argentat
Festival de la Luzege brings Figaro Divorce to Argentat as part of its fortieth edition, with Fabrice Henry directing a large-scale adaptation after Odon von Horvath. The play follows Figaro and Suzanne into exile after the Revolution, where loyalty, ambition and displacement begin to fracture. The production’s 1980s-inspired music gives the story a sharper contemporary vibration without losing its historical pressure. The Argentat stop gives the touring festival another local stage, extending the work beyond a central venue and into the Dordogne Valley public circuit.
Medieval Illumination Workshop at Chateau de Bonaguil
At Chateau de Bonaguil, the illumination workshop focuses on the ornamental miniatures that gave medieval manuscripts their visual force. The activity brings a patient craft into public view: line, color, decoration and the discipline of small-scale image making. Inside the castle’s heritage setting, manuscript art becomes a technique to observe and practice rather than a distant museum object. That level of technique gives the page enough specificity, because illumination depends on gesture, surface, pigment and patience rather than a broad medieval mood.
Fête des Plantes et de la Biodiversité in Clédat
In Clédat, the plant and biodiversity fair gives a rural heritage site a practical public role: nurserymen, local producers and artisans gather around plants, garden knowledge and everyday ecological culture. Its value is not spectacle but contact with the living materials of the region, from cultivated varieties to craft stands and producer tables, turning biodiversity into advice, objects, produce and public exchange. The rural setting makes biodiversity practical, linking plant advice, artisan stalls and local production with the everyday ways people care for gardens and land.

Sardinade and Fireworks in Sainte-Eulalie
Sainte-Eulalie’s national holiday sardinade builds the evening around food, dance and public celebration. The festival committee opens with an aperitif, Volcanik’s Creole dancers bring movement to the park, fireworks mark the civic moment and a DJ set carries the gathering into the night. The event is a local version of national ritual, shaped by music, table and neighborhood attendance.
