Events calendar Puy-De-Dôme

In Clermont-Ferrand, science also has its own short film festival. For one week, during the Fête de la Sciences, short scientific films (documentaries, fiction, animation) are screened. Some twenty works are screened at the Espace Georges Conchon, around themes chosen each year. More recently, screenings have been held throughout the Auvergne region on request. The festival is organized by INRAE, the Henri-Lecoq Museum, the city of Clermont-Ferrand, the Astu'sciences association and the Conseil départemental du Puy-de-Dôme.

The wine fairs of the independent winegrowers are not fairs like the others. You will meet the winegrowers themselves, who will each tell you in their own words their history, their wine, their job. The opportunity of a beautiful walk through the wine-producing France, with accents as diverse as the men are different and the wines varied. Equipped with the essential tool, a tasting glass offered at the entrance, the independent winegrowers will welcome you as in their cellars.

Are you looking for a traditional celebration that gets the whole department moving? Welcome to the Saint-Cochon ! In the past, pigs were killed in mid-January and the meal was shared. This tradition has been transformed into a great celebration, which begins, continues and ends with the tasting of pigs and the drinks that accompany them. The arrival of the pig and its cooking are among the highlights. The lunch, which takes place in joy and good humor, is followed by shows, music ... Everything is gathered to spend an exceptional day.

About ten Vintage Fairs take place in France each year, including one in Clermont-Ferrand. The idea was born in 2007 at the initiative of Laurent Journo, author of the book Vintage passion. The show brings together vintage professionals, that is to say more than 100 exhibitors, among the best experts in fashion, furniture, accessories, electronic objects, but also iconic games because of their design or their sometimes forgotten use, vinyl records, cars... Nostalgic or fashion fans, Sunday bargain hunters or professionals, collectors or families, all come here to discover elements of everyday life from the 1950's to the 1990's, and to unearth, in this immense Ali Baba's cave, THE item.
