Festival Emmenez-moi

Festival Emmenez-moi: Discovering the Heritage of Seine-et-Marne

Created in 2018 by the Department of Seine-et-Marne, the "Emmenez-moi" festival is an invitation to rediscover local heritage from a new perspective. Each edition takes over different towns in the department, transforming heritage sites—often little-known to the general public—into ephemeral stages for live performances, artistic installations, and festive gatherings.

An Itinerant Festival Revealing Hidden Treasures

The great originality of Emmenez-moi lies in its itinerant nature. From one year to the next, the festival explores new territories within the department, showcasing remarkable heritage sites: ruined castles, former industrial sites repurposed, picturesque villages with preserved architecture, forgotten medieval sites. This approach highlights the exceptional diversity and richness of Seine-et-Marne's heritage, the largest department in Île-de-France by area and variety of landscapes.

A Multidisciplinary and Free Program

The festival offers a rich program accessible to all: open-air live performances—theater, dance, circus, music—concerts in unexpected locations, participatory workshops for families, guided walks to discover local heritage, conferences, and open-air cinema screenings. The entire program is free, reflecting the Department's commitment to making culture and heritage accessible to the widest possible audience.

The 7th Edition: A Wonderful Weekend

The 7th edition of the festival, in June 2025, took place in the towns of Condé-Sainte-Libiaire, Coupvray, and Treuzy-Levelay. A new feature for 2025: the "Emmenez-moi" label now distinguishes one-off events that promote heritage throughout the year, extending the festival's spirit far beyond the single weekend in June.

Strong Territorial Roots

Emmenez-moi is part of the cultural and heritage policy of the Department of Seine-et-Marne, in collaboration with the host towns, tourist offices, and local associations. The festival helps to promote the 800 historical monuments and countless heritage sites in the department, while also revitalizing rural and peri-urban areas through a festive and unifying event.
