Festival Philosophia

Philosophia, thinking in the vineyards

The Festival Philosophia is a unique event that invites you to think, debate, and philosophize in the exceptional setting of Saint-Émilion, a village classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site and surrounded by prestigious vineyards.

Conferences and debates

Each edition explores a major philosophical theme or concept — happiness, freedom, time, love, space — through conferences, round tables, and debates led by renowned philosophers, sociologists, artists, scientists, and writers.

Philosophical walks and workshops

The festival offers philosophical walks in the vineyards, philosophy workshops for children, guided tastings, and intimate encounters. These original formats allow philosophy to be approached in a lively and accessible way.

A free and friendly festival

Access to all events is free, in line with the festival's democratic mission. This accessibility, combined with the charm of Saint-Émilion, makes it an extremely popular event.
