At the beginning of July, for ten days, the Zaccros D'Ma Rue animate the streets of Nevers every year. At the heart of this beautiful festival, all the arts are represented: street shows, theatrical animations, in total more than 200 free performances (and for all audiences) are organized in more than twenty places in the city and in a dozen municipalities of the Nivernaise agglomeration. A warm and unmissable event. To the great joy of the 80,000 spectators who attend!

Over the years, this festival has become a true national reference. It calls on artists from the 4 corners of the world to blow a wind of blues on the city of Charente. Like every time, this new edition will see a succession of concerts that will animate the terraces, the streets of the City of the Word, the Benedictine Garden, the Monks' Cellar, the village hall or the neighboring villages. Improvised, sung, played, the blues and its variants deliver to La Charité their authentic, warm and spontaneous colors.

There is nothing better than the presence of a new person to motivate children to walk. All the more so if this person has four legs and ears! In Pas de l'Âne offers easy walking with a donkey.

On the edge of the Morvan massif and the Yonne, the possibilities for bucolic walks are numerous.
