Editorial policy
Festivals en France lists festivals open to the public across France, overseas territories included. Two of us keep the listings up to date.
Who does what
Valentin Contard writes the listings. He checks the dates of each edition and reviews some of the corrections you send us. Christophe Contard, editor-in-chief, then goes over every listing: he reviews, corrects and approves it before it goes live. You will find both of them on our About page.
What we list
Any festival held in France that the public can attend, whatever its theme. Private parties do not belong here.
Where the information comes from
Official sources first: the organizer's website or social pages, the town hall, the tourist office. Visitors and organizers add to it too, through the correction form on every listing.
Dates
Each edition is checked against an official source. Until one has confirmed it, the listing says so in a notice. In that case, call the organizer before you hit the road.
Corrections and errors
Every listing has a button to suggest a correction. We read each suggestion before anything changes on the site. A corrected listing gets a new update date: look at the bottom of the page. For an urgent error, write to us from the Contact page.
Publisher
The site is published by Christophe Contard, sole proprietor. The details are in the legal notice.
