Festival de la Pierre à Saint-Gengoux-le-National

For ten months, the Festival de la Pierre will be bringing life to the south of the Côte Chalonnaise, with stone at the heart of the festivities. A symbol of unity and heritage, stone is the common thread running through this free event, which is open to all and brings local residents together to enjoy a wide range of friendly activities.
Artistic performances, workshops and events highlight stone in all its forms, as an essential part of local culture. The Festival is also committed to passing on the knowledge and traditions associated with stone, offering everyone the opportunity to celebrate the cultural richness of the Southern Côte Chalonnaise.
