LA NUIT DES SORCIERS

Fair

The Foire aux Sorciers has been held in Bué since 1946. It combines the celebration of wine produced in the Sancerre region with the history of local witchcraft. This part of the Sancerre region was marked during the Renaissance by a major witchcraft trial, that of the Carroi de Marloup (the proceedings of which have been preserved). Since 2008, the festival has been held on Saturday evening. People come in costume as witches, birettes, ghosts or devils. The festive evening begins with a meal and witch stories, followed by a country ball and fireworks.
