Drones, thrillers and winemakers, exhibitions and concerts: our selection of the week’s outings in the Tarn

Crime fiction and wine on display together at Lisle-noir

Lisle-Noir, an annual event for black literature and independent winemakers, marks its return to Lisle-sur-Tarn on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 September. A 9th edition designed around Spanish crime fiction. The French people’s favourite literary genre, black literature reveals a very rich universe.

It is through the meeting with around forty authors, round tables, an escape game, a literary café and tasting sessions that these “Vendanges du polar” propose to mix the thrills of the detective novel with the delights of wine. In a great festive moment that is aimed at informed audiences as well as the most novice.

Salvagnac. “Materre” exhibits the poetry of bodies

On Sunday, September 22, the Café au Bord du monde in Salvagnac is taking the opposite approach to Heritage Days by highlighting women’s cultural heritage in a Matrimoine Day. An event supported by several cultural centers in the area.

For the occasion, the Salvagnac café invites Rabastinoise Agathe Favero to exhibit around fifteen of her works: charcoal drawings, sculptures and metal bas-reliefs. A cosmogony of female bodies; nudes gathered under the title of “Materre” to try to capture this intimate territory whose scope is eminently universal. The opening will take place on Sunday, September 22 at 11 a.m. The exhibition will be visible until October 31.

A giant show of 500 drones in Saix

On Saturday, September 21, the Sor & Agout Community of Communes is offering a brand new event. For its first edition, the Soirée des Étangs is taking place in the heart of the Espace Loisirs “Les Étangs” in Saïx for a great evening of festivities.

Sports activities, DJs and concerts, including the arrival of the very famous group Les Stentors: a meeting in this idyllic setting intended to end the summer in style. With a unique show, the real highlight of the evening: an aerial choreography officiated by 500 drones illuminated in the darkness of the night. A first in the department. See you from 5:30 p.m. Book your places.

Contes en Balade Festival: on the road to the 25th edition

A completely free festival, Contes en Balade has been visiting the small villages of the Tarn every autumn for 25 years. This year the programme runs from 18 September to 13 October, offering 17 shows including three for toddlers, and two storytelling walks.

In partnership with the area’s media libraries and local stakeholders, the municipalities of Alban, Brassac, Labruguière, Lacaune, Lavaur, Le Garric, Les Cabannes, Lombers, Montgaillard, Saint-Amans-Soult, Saint-Juéry, Saint-Paul-Cap-de-Joux, Saint-Pierre-de-Trivisy and Sémalens will host free shows based on the magic of storytelling and beautiful stories.

Lautrec. Musical journey to Plùm

Café Plùm is offering to close the week with two very eclectic concerts. On Friday, September 20, the Toulouse group Mîrkut invites you on a timeless journey to the time of Kurdish songs, popular and festive. Between tradition and modernity, it offers a musical escape to the East with a psychedelic groove/rock sound.

Saturday night, the Lautrécoise stage hosts an “a capella women’s story” with the Apple Fizz trio. Three women, three voices, who come to sing their stories of travel, love and life. A repertoire of covers and compositions from rock, blues, pop or reggae. Reworked with an “Apple Fizz” twist.
