Emmitou'Flers: Christmas magic in the heart of the Norman bocage
Since 2022, Emmitou'Flers has become the unmissable event for the end-of-year festivities in Flers and the Orne bocage. Organized by Flers Agglo, this festival unfolds for over a month – from late November to early January – with a rich program of shows, activities, and festivities that illuminate the town and warm hearts.
Spectacular activities
The luminous parade
The highlight of Emmitou'Flers is the luminous parade "L'Envol", a magical procession presented by the Compagnie Remue-Ménage. This procession of luminous creatures travels through the streets of Flers in a magical atmosphere, enchanting the thousands of spectators gathered along the route.
The Christmas circus
The Cirque-théâtre Tempo sets up its big top at the Flers bowling green to present a Christmas circus show with about ten international artists. Juggling, acrobatics, clowning, and poetry blend together to offer a quality family show for about ten days.
Video mapping
A video mapping show, "Flers, l'odyssée en lumière", projects luminous and sound animations onto the facades of emblematic buildings in the town, creating an immersive and free show in the heart of Flers.
The Christmas market
The Emmitou'Flers Christmas market brings together around 70 exhibitors over a weekend, offering seasonal crafts, gifts, decorations, and delicacies. This festive market is an opportunity to find original gift ideas while supporting local artisans and producers.
