Stone Festival

The Festival de la Pierre is a travelling festival for the general public that takes place in the Communauté de Communes Sud Côte Chalonnaise. The 2024 European Heritage Days will be the opportunity to launch this intergenerational Festival, the first of a whole series of events to be held until June 2025. Shows, lectures, exhibitions, etc. with stone as the main theme, will be on the programme on 21 September.
Stone, as a heritage, geological and historical subject, will bring together an entire region over the course of the seasons.

The programme:

3pm - Stone soup
Storytelling by Claudie Parolini, followed by a collection of vegetables for the preparation of pebble soup.
