Festivals and cultural events Orléans

Every two years, in September, the banks of the Loire are dressed in their finest finery and come alive with a thousand lights during the Festival de Loire, an event that moves the crowds. On the programme: exhibitions, jousting and lock-keeping demonstrations, boat races and parades, sailing demonstrations, tow horses, shows and street entertainment for all, concerts... This beautiful festival, an opportunity to travel back in time to the Loire navy, is the largest in Europe in terms of river navy.

With a fine hearing, this conference cycle will resume in 2018 for a edition with a theme question: is progress still in the service of man? Intellectuals from all over the world will meet in Orléans, in orléanais cultural places. This will be the opportunity to debate, meet, but above all exchange around news issues. Looking at the eyes and allowing to hear new voices, that is the purpose of this event, which attracts more thinkers and curious every year!
