A Living Occitan Culture Open to the World

The Paratge d'Oc & d'ailleurs festival was born from the desire of the Dordogne-Périgord Departmental Cultural Agency to promote a living and contemporary Occitan culture, open to other world cultures. The term 'Paratge', inherited from the troubadours, carries values of humanity, respect for differences, and gender equality.

A Rich and Varied Program

The program combines music, dance, theater, storytelling, and participatory workshops centered around the Occitan language and culture, while also welcoming artists from other cultural backgrounds. The performances take place outdoors in the medieval setting of Bourdeilles, at the foot of its castle and in the village streets.

A Free and Friendly Event

The festival is free and open to all. On-site catering allows visitors to extend their day in a friendly atmosphere. The event is supported by the municipality of Bourdeilles, the festival committee, and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region.
