It is a festival where twenty designers are invited each year to "work on" a topical theme. Then, all the drawings and cartoons are presented to the public for ten days at a major free exhibition. One of the highlights of this festival is the first weekend, cartoonists are present and meet the public, making, on request and freely, drawings as a dedications. Their works then stay visible during the second part of the festival.

Organized every two years in the spring, on odd years, Peyri'Art is an ephemeral exhibition scattered in various galleries of the village. It presents the work of visual artists, painters, sculptors, drawers, photographers, comic book authors or authors of artists' books selected by a jury, as well as artists living in Peyriac. The opportunity for the public to discover rich and varied works, while discovering... or rediscovering the heart of this pretty village and going to meet the particular cellars of Peyriac-de-Mer.

This exciting museum bears the ancient name of the city of Bram, which was, in Roman times, the largest city on the Via Aquitania between Toulouse and Narbonne. With more than 800 archaeological items on display - a quarter of which have been restored - the permanent exhibition retraces the history of Bram and the West Aude from prehistoric times to the end of the Middle Ages. Divided into six themes, the exhibition takes you through a shimmering decor where tools, jewellery, coins and ceramics blend together. But the highlight of the show is undoubtedly the lapidary inscription of the Bram theatre. You will also discover the funeral practices used at the time, the organization of the rural area with its Gallo-Roman farms and villas, some of which are still in use today, as well as the medieval habitat of this region, which is distinguished by its circular villages. Note the organisation of temporary exhibitions and conferences, and the possibility to visit the research laboratory during the Heritage Days. For the record, the construction site of this archaeological house unveiled a segment of the Aquitaine way, a capital route of the Gallo-Roman era, around which the city of Bram was built.
