Around fifteen local producers take part in Mouhet’s gourmet market in the village square. Each producer offers prepared dishes that can be eaten on site. Food stalls and tables bring the meal into the square, allowing the products sold at the market to be tasted where they are presented by their producers.

Dîner de Quai in Saint-Satur: Global Flavors

A shared table brings residents and visitors together around the meal, with a festive programme accompanying the regional food theme.
George Sand Show in Nohant: Puppet Performance
George Sans S brings the work and personality of George Sand to the stage through the distinctive visual theatre of Les Anges au Plafond. Puppets, signed song and live music give form both to the author and to characters drawn from her novels, allowing biography and fiction to occupy the same performance space. The company is recognised in the puppetry arts, with movement and manipulated figures carrying meaning alongside music and signed song. This version is adapted for Nohant, the place most closely associated with Sand’s home, writing and artistic circle. That setting adds unusual immediacy to a production concerned with how an author survives through invented lives. Its layered design replaces the conventional literary portrait with gesture, voice and material that bring Sand’s imagination into view.
Crafts and Traditions Festival in Baraize: Local Market
Baraize’s Crafts and Traditions Festival combines craft exhibitors with a farmers’ market. Agricultural equipment, vintage tractors and classic cars form a display of rural work and transport. Games include potato harvesting, while food stalls and fireworks accompany the gathering around local produce, making and farming traditions.
George Sand in Le Châtelet: Music Concert
La Vignerie performs a traditional music concert in Le Châtelet as part of the George Sand commemoration. The named ensemble provides the live programme. Set in the Berry town, the concert links a musical gathering with the local tribute to the writer, whose work remains closely associated with the surrounding rural territory.
