  • Fête de la Sange (Sully-sur-Loire)

    The Fête de la Sange in Sully-sur-Loire brings fishing, hunting and practical knowledge of nature into a large popular gathering. Demonstrations and displays speak to traditions formed around rivers, forests and field sports, while free activities give children accessible, practical ways to take part. Savoie appears as guest territory, adding another regional culture to the fair’s established local identity. The emphasis remains on discovery and exchange, with competition kept secondary while associations and practitioners explain the skills behind their pursuits. Organised by the Comité de la Sange, the celebration reflects how outdoor practices, family participation and regional representation continue to sustain a living culture of nature in the Loire Valley.

  • George Sand Exhibition in Foëcy: Celebrating Her Legacy

    George Sand, 150 ans de modernité is a travelling exhibition created by the George Sand and Black Valley Museum. It revisits a major nineteenth-century figure through the breadth of her literary, artistic and political legacy. The presentation extends beyond the rural novels most closely associated with Berry and restores the many forms of Sand’s public and creative life. The idea of modernity provides a useful thread, linking independence of thought with work that still speaks to readers and civic debate. In Foëcy, the touring format brings museum interpretation beyond its home institution and lets a local audience encounter the writer as a complex cultural force with relevance beyond a fixed regional emblem.
