De Londres à Edimbourg in Plaimpied-Givaudins: Music Duo
La Rêveuse brings De Londres à Edimbourg to Plaimpied-Givaudins in collaboration with Noirlac. Florence Bolton and Benjamin Perrot perform English music from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Soirée AOC Wine and Cheese in Valençay: Local Delights
Valençay’s Soirée AOC vin et fromage celebrates the town’s wine and cheese appellations. Eleven local producers take part, with the Fanfare de Saint-Genou providing music. The Jeunes Agriculteurs de l’Indre prepare a Berry Burger, adding a cooked dish to the gathering around the area’s wines, cheeses and producers.
Nuits Lumière in Bourges: Evening Illumination
Bourges’s Nuits Lumière turns the historic centre into an open-air sequence of scenographic video projections across six heritage sites. The route begins at the Archbishop’s Garden and lets civic monuments become screens for stories embedded in the city’s architecture. A collaboration with the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art de Bourges gives Place Cujas a contemporary pulse through work by twenty students, including a creation shaped around nature reclaiming urban space. Historical interpretation is available through the Legendr mobile guide, which explains the works and their symbols without interrupting the nocturnal walk. Free access and the meeting of medieval fabric, digital image and local art-school practice make the illumination distinctly rooted in Bourges.
Local Producers Market in Nogent-sur-Vernisson: Fresh Picks
The Marché des producteurs de Pays gathers farmers from the country around Nogent-sur-Vernisson on the parking opposite the town hall. Each stall belongs to the person who grew, raised or made what is on it, so buyers deal with the producer and not with a reseller. The stalls put flowers and plants beside gastronomie and the craftwork of the Artisanat stands. Entry is free, everything stays in the open air, and there is food to eat on the spot.
George Sand Talk in Lignières: A Literary Journey
The planned George Sand talk in Lignières has been cancelled. Mickaël Ragot, author of Promenade autour de George Sand en Berry, was to discuss the writer through places associated with her work. His proposed presentation connected visits to Berry sites with literary interpretation; the public encounter will not take place.
Organic Fair in Neuvy Saint-Sépulchre: Sustainable Delights
Neuvy-Saint-Sépulchre’s organic fair brings producers together for a farmers’ market, workshops and round-table discussions. Organic meals use locally grown ingredients, with food served alongside the programme. Children’s activities and live music accompany the exhibitors, joining practical work on sustainable food with the town’s agricultural gathering.
Leisure Park Inauguration in Chemillé-sur-Indrois: Festive V
The leisure park opening at Chemillé-sur-Indrois brings local producers to the lakeside. Ça Trompe Énormément provides live music alongside the market. A visit introduces the leisure park and the development work around the lake, combining an account of the changes to the site with food stalls and an outdoor public gathering.
J’embrasse les deux gros diamants in Saint-Martin-d’Auxigny:
Puzzle Centre stages exchanges between George Sand and Gustave Flaubert at Square du Marronnier in Saint-Martin-d’Auxigny. The performance takes its title from their correspondence: J’embrasse les deux gros diamants qui vous ornent la trompette. Their letters become a spoken dialogue, bringing the writers’ relationship into a theatrical setting.
Gargilesse-Dampierre Gourmet Market: Local Delicacies
Gargilesse-Dampierre’s gourmet market brings local producers together around food and a shared meal. Products can be sampled and bought directly from the people who prepare or grow them. The gathering places tasting at the centre of the market, with a meal providing another way to encounter the regional produce on offer.
