Veilleurs de Nature 3ème édition – La mélodie du sauvage

It is a human, living and intergenerational adventure.

It is a festival open to everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, to reconnect with the wild world but also with others.

It is a team of photographers, artists, associations, publishers, nature animators... united in the same energy, who have given their time and agreed to share their work to allow everyone to take another look at this nature that surrounds us.

These are exhibitions, screenings, games, book access stands, artistic workshops, listening sessions, connected activities so that whatever your tastes, you feel welcome.

It is a place of exchange, of questions, of wonder (we hope) because we protect better what we know well.
