A major artistic event, this painting and drawing festival was created in 1989 and has since brought together some 300 international artists. It's a prestigious competition (sponsored by Salon Violet and the magazine Univers des Arts), the first of its kind in France, for works created on the spot, with an ambient motif: the Marais Poitevin, Magné and its surrounding area. The works are exhibited on Sunday from 3pm, and submitted to the jury for judging.

In the former pottery kiln of Magné, a modest local workshop created in the early ^19th century and closed in 1980. The pottery, now converted into an art gallery, hosts a number of exhibitions of painting, sculpture, photography and digital art, among other local curiosities. A number of creative workshops are also on offer. 5,000 visitors pass through every year, from April to the end of October.
