This travelling festival of Grand Narbonne was born in 2011 thanks to a partnership between the agglomeration and the communes interested in the project. Its objective is to encourage the exploration of the villages of the territory and to promote the cultural diversity of the destination. Free of charge, it is divided into two programmes: "summer", from June to September, and "autumn", from October to December. These multidisciplinary events highlight local artists from a variety of backgrounds: music, theatre, comedy, etc.

On the occasion of the Book Fair, the general public will have access to literary and artistic meetings with a hundred French and foreign authors. The clearly stated objective of this event in Narbonne is to promote and encourage access to all forms of culture for a wide audience. Signings, readings, workshops, round tables, shows, exhibitions and other events are planned during this spring weekend.
