Brick a Drak at Roi de l’Oiseau
Brick a Drak opens the Roi de l’Oiseau festivities with music that combines traditional repertoire and rock.

La vie de chateau at la Bretonniere
La vie de château at La Bretonnière frames the visit around the fortified domestic world of the Galaure countryside. The route centres on the pre-Renaissance octagonal tower, Flamboyant Gothic details and the spiral stair held inside its stone volume. A basket-handle doorway and an erased coat of arms bring the Revolution into the architecture, turning masonry, lineage and political rupture into visible clues.
European Heritage Days: Flemish Paintings
Jean Claude Saby leads a free European Heritage Days visit to Montfaucon-en-Velay’s twelve Flemish paintings by Abel Grimmer. Painted on wooden panels, the works combine episodes from the life of Jesus and parables with rural life in Flanders. The cycle follows the seasons, bringing religious and everyday subjects into the same collection.

She draws on her own contradictions and experiences, using self-mockery to question the pressure to be good in every role. Kevin Levy directs this solo comedy in Clermont-Ferrand, co-written by Brodier and Vincent Leroy.
