The flash visit around “11h55 au Beffroi” links a compact exhibition with Concarneau’s belfry, one of the city’s strongest heritage markers. A guide frames the building through the Ville Close, the Maison du Patrimoine and the Logis des Gardes. The format is brief, but the subject is precise: civic architecture, fortified-town memory and the visual story built around the belfry.

Secrets of Saint-Michel Chapel
Les Amis de Carnac focus on the Saint-Michel chapel, a landmark above the town’s ancient burial mound. Cyrille Chaigneau traces the building’s past, the stories attached to the hill and the details usually kept behind closed doors. The visit also highlights a mural by Breton artist Alice Pasco, turning a familiar silhouette into a more precise piece of Carnac memory.
Les Tréteaux du Beffroi: La Fontaine
Les Tréteaux du Beffroi present Autour de La Fontaine as a theatre piece built from the fabulist’s moral fables. Under Pierre Sémard’s direction, Dieulefit’s stage turns voices from the fables into a mirror of human comedy and social habit. The Drôme Provençale context gives the show a village-hall intimacy, joining classical French verse with live regional theatre practice.
Edentia Bal Trad at La Coconnerie
Tao Dumur and Matthieu Meyer bring contrasting musical approaches to Edentia’s bal trad in Aurel. Dumur’s dynamic playing meets Meyer’s more restrained style, a partnership that began on the dance floor. Accordion music accompanies Scottish dance, Bourrée, waltz and Circassian circle, bringing these different forms of shared dance together in the Drôme Valley.
Écomusée Maison Michaud Guided Visit
Maison Michaud’s tuyé farmhouse preserves the working life of Haut-Doubs farmers through a collection of two thousand objects. Guided visits explain how households adapted their architecture and everyday practices to long mountain winters. Stories of border markers, smuggling and the Resistance connect this domestic world with the Franco-Swiss frontier.
La Grande Vadrouille Bike Heritage Tour
Two guides lead a cycle route from Beaune to Meursault through locations associated with La Grande Vadrouille. The ride passes plots belonging to the Domaine des Hospices de Beaune and stops at the film’s Kommandantur before returning along the greenway. Visits to the Hôtel-Dieu connect the filming locations with the hospital’s buildings, and bicycles and helmets are provided.
Airs et Songes de la Traversière
Gabrielle Rubio brings the baroque transverse flute to Airs et Songes de la Traversière at Beaune’s Hôtel-Dieu. Hiéryne Lassale joins her on viola da gamba, Thibaut Roussel on theorbo and baroque guitar, and Cécile Chartrain on harpsichord. Rubio’s dual practice as flautist and guitarist reflects her training at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique and the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles.
Mon Hôtel-Dieu: Burgundian Hospitality
Julie Leflaive of Maison Olivier Leflaive leads a visit through the Hôtel-Dieu’s history of Burgundian hospitality. Rooms and objects prompt personal memories, connecting the hospital’s practice of care with her own experience. The conversation follows the themes of care, wine and bread, moving between the monument’s public history and the stories of people attached to it.
Les Maîtres Sonneurs
The Kraken Consort brings Celtic songs and instrumental tunes to Les Maîtres Sonneurs at Besançon’s music festival. Flutes, bagpipes, cittern and theorbo weave around the singers, drawing on traditions from Ireland, Scotland and Brittany. The eight musicians connect oral repertoires with written music in a programme named after George Sand’s novel.
Hospices Archives and First Wine Sale
Olga Ponchet of the Côte-d’Or Departmental Archives traces the beginnings of the Hospices de Beaune wine sale. Correspondence from Hôtel-Dieu bursar Joseph Pétasse and catalogues of vintages reveal how the auction took shape. Plans, registers, photographs and eyewitness accounts place the wine event within the hospital’s changing work in healthcare.
