It's in the magical setting of the Château de Crussol that this festival was born in 2017 on the initiative of singer Zaz.

Let's salute this citizen initiative by the Azimut association, eager to create a convivial event to reflect together on a better world, but also to share and feast, a citizen village with stands and two concert evenings to boot.

Food to match is also offered: chocolates, cold cuts, cheeses, etc. After four successful editions, the fifth one will take place at the Paul Bourzac complex in Aubière.

She who likes to work with her hands... has a space inside the church, where she offers a part of her cabinet of curiosities, including a woman who cries, another who dreams softly. Nathalie Petit, visual artist who works the earth with her sensitive hands... a practitioner of self-awareness... with the visual and sound accompaniment of the Chinese pianist Yuga Wang with aerial and precise hands.
