Free concerts at the Grange de l’Oiseau Bleu
July 14 and August 25 in Arthel
In Arthel, an old family barn was transformed into a concert hall last year. The goal? To breathe a little jazz into the heart of the Nièvre countryside. And this summer, it is hosting two free concerts in its garden: the Le Grand Tabazù fanfare band on July 14 and the duo Leïla Martial and Valentin Ceccaldi on August 25. With a musical stroll as a bonus on July 14.
5, route de Montenoison, Arthel. Free. More info on Facebook @Lagrangedeloiseaubleu

From Friday 19 to Sunday 21 July
Lormes well deserves its reputation as a hyper-dynamic village in the heart of the Morvan. The proof is in “A Weekend in Lormes”, three days with around twenty concerts scheduled where prices remain free and the atmosphere promises to be at its peak.
12, place François Mitterrand, Lormes. Free price. More info Facebook @Unweekendalormes

Saint-Jacques flea market in La Charité-sur-Loire
Sunday July 28
Great deals and a great atmosphere. That’s what awaits you at the Saint-Jacques flea market in La Charité-sur-Loire. Arts and crafts, second-hand dealers, garage sales… Enough to wander around looking for that rare gem all day long and enjoy the town and its priory, which is listed as a world heritage site.

Woman driving in Varennes-Vauzelles
Friday August 9th
Clichés about women? Very few for the circus troupe B-side Company. Flora Lacornerie and Camille Jacquot have chosen in their show to mock gender stereotypes. When acrobatics and poetry combine to counter preconceived ideas, we applaud.
Allée Simone de Beauvoir, Varennes-Vauzelles. Free. More info on bsidecompany.com
