Festival Signé Nature

Nature Photography in Corrèze

Created in 2011 by the association Silva “Photographions la Nature”, the Festival Signé Nature is a major event for wildlife and nature photography in Corrèze. Organized annually in Saint-Étienne-aux-Clos, the festival aims to raise public awareness about the discovery and protection of wildlife.

For three days in July, the village of Saint-Étienne-aux-Clos transforms into an open-air gallery with exhibitions by wildlife photographers from Limousin and other regions of France. The festival showcases the work of nature photographers while raising awareness about environmental preservation.

Exhibitions, Conferences, and Nature Walks

The festival offers a rich and varied program: photographic exhibitions featuring around twenty wildlife photographers, film screenings of nature documentaries, thematic conferences (in 2025, the theme focused on the preservation of old-growth forests), and nature walks to discover local fauna and flora.

Local artisans and nature management and protection organizations are also present to engage with the public on environmental issues. The festival thus creates a meeting space between photographers, naturalists, and the general public.

“Draw Nature” Contest for Children

The Festival Signé Nature opens its doors to the younger generation through the “Draw Nature” drawing contest, aimed at kindergarten and elementary school classes. Each year, over 300 children from schools in Corrèze, Puy-de-Dôme, and Hérault participate in this contest, drawing their vision of nature. A great initiative to educate new generations about environmental protection.
