Puy de Lumières, every evening, Spectacles en Velay
As night falls, see the town's monuments from a new perspective, magnified by a history in lights: the cathedral, Saint-Michel d’Aiguilhe, the town hall, the theatre, the chapel of Saint-Alexis in the courtyard of the headquarters of the department of Haute Loire. The Parcours Lumières is magical. A wonderful thing to enjoy before or after dining in the romantic centre of Le Puy-en-Velay. See its monuments during the day and see them in a whole new light after nightfall.
This festival is a week-long opportunity to acquaint (or reacquaint) yourself with classic films from all over the world: an unmissable event for film lovers.
On the second Saturday in October, every year the Annecy Traditions association holds the Retour des Alpages (the désalpe, the demontagnée and the poya). This major traditional and folk festival features local crafts, demonstrations of traditional skills, processions of herds from the mountains, folk groups and local produce.
The Fascinant Week-end takes place on the 3rd weekend in October within the 10 regions with Vignobles et Découvertes status. More than 200 activities will be taking place in the vineyards.
The chestnut festivals of the Parc des Monts d’Ardèche are celebrating their 20th birthday! Roasting chestnuts at harvest time is a tradition in Ardèche. In early October and until the middle of November, locals and chestnut growers celebrate this little fruit on the village squares. Welcome to the Castagnades!
