The Festival of Haut-Quercy and the Festival
of Saint-Céré have decided to join forces to propose
a common program. By comparing the specific art styles and the
geographical reach of both festivals, one realises how complementary
they are : sacred music for one and opera for the other, their
joint events spreading accross the entire Dordogne Valley.
This union results in a new name for the festival: « Festival de Saint-Céré et du Haut-Quercy ». A new winter program has been created in December 2008 to present a mixture of opera, cabaret , jazz and burlesque until the beginning of June. |

« Once upon a time, a young guild from
Bretenoux, created in the last century, used to go out on Whitsun
week-ends and organize book festivals in a beautiful town . In
the new millenium, it sought new horizons. This is when, in April
2001, it met Prince Charming. From Gagnac to Castelnau, the whole
"Communauté des Communes entre Cère et Dordogne"
witnessed this budding love affair between Festival du Conte (tale
festival), a fearless man afraid of no word, and Dynamic Arcade".
(text by Pierre Fauré)
The Arcade guild pusues its goal and proposes exciting seasons filled with exhibitions, themed shows, conferences, and of course the tale festival during whitsun holidays. |
Programs are available at the Tourism Office.

Art’zimu goes beyond the quality of dancing, mixing genders,
creating cultural meetings, forcing discovery. A multitude of
events happen from morning to night: classes during the day
(Hip-hop, tango, salsa, flamenco…but also discovering nature
on tree-top trails, getting initiated to circus arts, learning
to write, to play in bands…) and creating special evening
meetings.
See program under
monthly events.
