The Automnal Gourmand farm visit connects visitors with Limousin cattle, barn-drying technique and a tasting of beef terrines. Agriculture appears through concrete practices and farm knowledge, giving the event a strong rural-heritage profile. The visit ties local production to food culture, showing how animal husbandry, farm work and tasting belong to the same regional chain.

Saint Roch and Saut du Bezan Hike
Randonnee Saint Roch et le saut du Bezan is a guided hike with a strong landscape-interpretation focus. Volcanic plateaus and the Saut du Bezan shape the route, so the value lies in walking through terrain while understanding the natural heritage it carries.
La vie de chateau at la Bretonniere
La vie de chateau at la Bretonniere explores the estate through its strongest architectural features. The octagonal tower, spiral staircase and surviving decorative elements give the visit tangible points of attention, while the erased coat of arms suggests a deeper historical layer.
European Heritage Days: Flemish Paintings
The Montfaucon-en-Velay visit focuses on a rare collection of Flemish paintings by Abel Grimmer in the Notre Dame chapel setting. The collection gives the town a distinctive heritage subject, linking local stewardship with a wider sixteenth-century artistic world. The value for visitors is the specificity: a named artist, a rare ensemble and a local place where the works become part of the commune’s cultural identity.
Dieulefit Provencal Market
The Grand marche provencal de Dieulefit is rooted in the products and skills of its territory. Farmers, producers, cheesemakers and craftspeople give the market a clear local profile, especially through references to picodon, pottery and Drome Provencale food culture.
Atelier Bal: Traditional Dance
The dance workshop teaches social forms such as bourrees, scottishs, mazurkas and waltzes while leaving room for musicians to join traditional repertoire. The session is valuable because transmission happens through practice: steps, rhythm, listening and group movement are learned together. It turns folk dance into a living skill, making regional musical culture accessible through participation, repetition and shared movement.
Marche de Chavanne
Marche de Chavanne is a local producers’ market with a concrete food base: cheese, bread, fruit, vegetables, pizza and meat. Occasional trades such as honey, mushrooms, Italian products and cider give the market a changing rural character.
Big S: En verite
En verite mixes laughter, truth and introspection. Big S works through contemporary contradictions around social networks, romantic relationships and masculinity, shaping a comedy night with a recognizably current subject.
Bal Trad by Vichy Conservatory
The Bal trad led by Vichy’s traditional music department brings teachers, students and dancers into the same musical space. Repertory learned at the conservatory becomes a live, shared practice through playing and dancing.
Richesses du Parc du Vercors
Created by the Parc Naturel Regional du Vercors, this exhibition presents territorial riches through photography and sound capsules. Landscape, living cultural heritage and environmental change are treated together, which suits a mountain territory where identity is shaped by land use, memory and adaptation. The show offers a local reading of the Vercors through voices, images and territorial knowledge.
