Coup de Contes Storytelling Festival in Côte-d'Or
A traveling storytelling festival across Côte-d'Or's libraries
2026
About Coup de Contes Storytelling Festival in Côte-d'Or
Every autumn since 1992, the Côte-d'Or Department has sent professional storytellers to tour its municipal libraries and media centers. The Médiathèque Côte-d'Or organizes this traveling festival around a new theme each year, which local libraries then bring to life through exhibitions, lectures, and screenings that expand on the subject.
In Sombernon, the local toy library is embracing the theme: an exhibition of board games, featuring a selection of vintage games, will be hosted at the Espace culturel du Pourpris.
Coup de Contes Storytelling Festival in Côte-d'Or — edition 2026
In Sombernon, the departmental festival's theme, "And time goes by…", explores the world of games: a "Board Games" exhibition throughout October, a chance to rediscover childhood games on October 3rd, storytelling by Pascal Thétard on the 9th, and a telecommunications-themed escape game on the 24th.
