Festival Terre d'Accord(s) — Living arts and nature in La Chapelle-sur-Dun
When music, dance, and theater invite themselves into a Norman art garden
About Terre d'Accord(s)
An art garden becomes a living stage
In the heart of the Pays de Caux, a few kilometers from the Côte d'Albâtre, sculptor Robert Arnoux has created an extraordinary place: Terre d'Accord, a two-hectare art garden where his monumental sculptural installations dialogue with vegetation, water, and fire. Divided into four gardens — the Jardin du Feu (Fire Garden), the Jardin de l'Eau (Water Garden), and the Jardins de la Terre (Earth Gardens) — this landscaped studio is both a creative space and a permanent exhibition venue.
In 2023, Robert Arnoux and his team took a new step by launching the Festival Terre d'Accord(s), inviting performing artists to inhabit the garden and create works that resonate with its installations. The concept is radical and poetic: artists immerse themselves in the garden, compose with its natural and sculptural elements, and offer performances where the audience wanders from one stage to another, in an immersive experience that blurs the lines between concert, performance, walk, and contemplation.
A program at the crossroads of arts and nature
Each summer, the Festival Terre d'Accord(s) presents five events between July and August, each featuring a different artistic discipline or ensemble: classical music (Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven), world music, contemporary dance, theater, storytelling, and folk music.
The 2025 edition, the third of its kind, welcomed Reder Noujah (drums and violin with Caucasian inspiration), Tutti Flutti (female flute sextet performing Bach, Vivaldi, Bizet, and Piazzolla), international cellist Éric Maria Couturier (Bach suites and improvisations, in partnership with Les Musicales de Normandie), the Compagnie Impact (choreographed dance in the garden), and the Travelbaghs Trio Folk (three female voices, piano, mandolins, and ukulele).
Each performance is conceived as a unique creation, specifically designed for the garden, with complete artistic freedom granted to the performers. The audience, limited in number, moves through the garden, discovering the sculptural works while experiencing the musical or choreographic performance.
A green setting on the Côte d'Albâtre
Located in La Chapelle-sur-Dun, a village of 350 inhabitants a few kilometers from Veules-les-Roses and Saint-Valery-en-Caux, the Terre d'Accord garden offers an exceptional setting. Performances are held in the late afternoon or evening, taking advantage of the low summer light of Normandy on the sculptures and vegetation. The festival benefits from the support of the Municipality of La Chapelle-sur-Dun, the Communauté de Communes de la Côte d'Albâtre, and the Department of Seine-Maritime.
Terre d'Accord(s) embodies a demanding vision of culture in a rural setting: top-tier artists in an intimate and unique location, a direct encounter between art and nature, far from standardized festival formats.

The 4th edition of the Festival Terre d'Accord(s) takes place from July 4 to August 21, 2026, in the art garden of sculptor Robert Arnoux, in La Chapelle-sur-Dun, Seine-Maritime. Six immersive artistic events — music, theatre for young audiences, classical theatre — take over this two-hectare landscaped park, from the guitar-flute-cello of Trio Alkemia (July 4) to Musset directed by Émilie Lacoste (August 21), including flutist Naïssam Jalal in partnership with Les Musicales de Normandie (July 30).
