Fairs and exhibitions Cher

The Christmas Village installs its magic for 16 days at the foot of the cathedral. About fifty wooden chalets, decorated and illuminated, await visitors. It offers everything you need to celebrate Christmas: decorations, traditional dishes or sweet treats always welcome. You can also find original gifts. Artists and craftsmen exhibit their creations. Children can of course meet Santa Claus. The tradition is respected with the ice rink and the choirs. Everyone enjoys strolling around in this very special atmosphere!

The Foire aux Sorciers has been held in Bué since 1946. It combines the celebration of wine produced in the Sancerre region with the history of local witchcraft. This part of the Sancerre region was marked during the Renaissance by a major witchcraft trial, that of the Carroi de Marloup (the proceedings of which have been preserved). Since 2008, the festival has been held on Saturday evening. People come in costume as witches, birettes, ghosts or devils. The festive evening begins with a meal and witch stories, followed by a country ball and fireworks.
