The mapping has been revisited and will be presented on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings in the courtyard of the town hall.
OThere should be no dull moment this summer in Angoulême. “There is not a day when something will not happen,” pointed out the mayor of Angoulême, Xavier Bonnefont, as he unveiled the Beaux jours program: free entertainment every day, for all audiences in around fifteen different locations.
Among the new features, the return of the fireworks on July 13, after a cancellation last year for budgetary reasons. “It was a necessary choice to put the foot on the brakes. A fireworks display is a budget of €25,000. But after the stabilization of the cost of energy which is even tending towards a decrease, we have made savings, we can reinvest.”
The fire will be fired from Bourgine Island and visible, as every year, from Boulevard Besson-Bey or from the ramparts behind the Halles d’Angoulême for a clearer view.
The mapping is also back in its summer version. In the courtyard of the town hall. 16 minutes instead of 12 this winter, still in glory of the discovery of New York. It has been reworked, enriched and completed and will be scheduled on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. Then, the Beaux jours will start on Friday July 5 at the Jardin vert at 6 p.m. with a tribute concert to Christian Escoudé, the Charente gypsy jazz guitarist who died in May. Sunday July 7, meet at La Nef with a concert at 4 p.m. for children with Captain Parad then for parents with Maxwell Farrington & Le SuperHomard.
Christian Escoudé, jazz flows in his veins
He is one of the best jazz guitarists in France. From his native Charente, Christian Escoudé, 75, maintains a passion that has taken him to the four corners of the world. For guitar and jazz.

The news
It’s new and they will only be there for one day in Frégeneuil Monday July 22 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. Scientists touring throughout France with their Spacebus will offer the opportunity to study the solar system with escape games, augmented reality and observe the sky after dark. Another novelty for DIY enthusiasts, at the Jardin vert. They will be able to make their own single-string guitar, or percussion instrument to take home, on July 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and August 21 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Father Cucu’s crazy ball with disco ball and bubble machine should also be a crazy good time on Thursday August 8 at 5 p.m.
Monday is sport and relaxation
We start the week with sport and a little relaxation in order to be in shape at work or at home. With beach volleyball and beach tennis until August 19 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Bourgine. For wellness enthusiasts, it’s in Frégeneuil that it’s happening, with the gym and massage formula and a touch of relaxation from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. until August 12.

“Happiness” to learn how to have fun in life on July 11 at 9 p.m.
We start with a balancing act between “being content with what we have” and “pursuing our dreams” with the show “Happiness” to learn how to have fun in life, on July 11 at 9 p.m. at the Jardin vert (also in the Soirs Bleus program). We continue with funny and intelligent circus from Quebec’s Stories in the city on July 18. Then Monique and Marie-Thérèse take us into their world and their hair salon between comedy and blow-dry, on July 25. On August 1, more circus with Joséphine and her circus artists who take a look back at the past through their disciplines: Chinese pole, Cyr wheel, juggling, acrobatics and live music (also in the Soirs Bleus program). A bit of juggling, a bit of absurdity with Boris on stage on August 8 and some singing and humor with the Charentais of La joute vocale on August 22 (also in the Soirs Bleus program).
