Events calendar Chalon-Sur-Saône

Chalon-sur-Saône is at the crossroads of many cycling paths. In the north, a Green Lane joins Chagny and Santenay, while in the south a second Green Lane joins Cluny. Also accessible to hikers, these itineraries are flat and secure. If you only have one hour, you can settle for the segment between Chalon-sur-Saône and Givry, 10 kilometres long. The path crosses the fields and vineyards that have made the international reputation of the region and leads to this municipality to the rich historical heritage, where you can turn half or continue towards the south.

Created in 1987, the Chalon dans la rue festival is the second largest street arts festival in France (after Aurillac). For 4 days, no fewer than 150 French and international companies set the pace in the city, whose population is growing by leaps and bounds. Dance, circus, music, theater: there's something for everyone. You can stroll through the 1,000 or so performances, but it's best to make up a precise schedule of shows, usually free or by the hat.

A unique event in Burgundy, this Indoor Trial has been in existence for 10 years and still attracts as many motorcycle and mountain bike enthusiasts as ever. The event brings together the best riders and mountain bikers in the world for an exceptional show!

For ten days at the end of February and the beginning of March, Chalon-sur-Saône vibrates to the rhythm of the "gôniots", the carnival-goers who take over the town. Two large parades on consecutive Sundays are the highlight of the^5th largest carnival in France. Decorated floats, papier-mâché heads, marching bands and majorettes from all over the world make their way through the town center, with huge confetti battles everywhere. Other highlights include Carnaband's Show, a musical extravaganza featuring 500 artists from all over Europe, and a huge funfair with over a hundred rides.
