22nd Edition — Dire, Lire et Conter 2025
The 22nd edition of the Dire, Lire et Conter festival took place from September 16 to October 31, 2025, in the libraries and cultural venues of Montluçon Communauté. True to its mission as a traveling and free festival, this edition offered numerous storytelling sessions for all ages across the community.
Among the invited artists, Arnaud Redon took the audience on a European medieval journey with Adam le Borgne, Christel Delpeyroux blended reality and imagination in Le Carnet, David Linkowski presented his famous interactive Contes de la casquette, and Le Petit Théâtre Dakôté enchanted young and old with Krâpahute, a paper theater show blending narration and visual arts.
The sessions were held in the Boris-Vian and Fontbouillant libraries in Montluçon, Co-Libris in Domérat, Léo-Ferré in Désertines, as well as in Saint-Victor, Prémilhat, and the community's children's centers.
