Fête de la Montagne Limousine
Popular and civic festival on the Plateau de Millevaches in Gentioux-Pigerolles
About Fête de la Montagne
The spirit of the Montagne limousine
The Fête de la Montagne Limousine is much more than just a festival: it is a moment of meeting, debate, and collective construction for all those who live and work on the Plateau de Millevaches. (Re)launched in 2015 by residents of Creuse, Corrèze, and Haute-Vienne, it follows in the tradition of the Fête des Plateaux organized in the 1980s, which highlighted the creations and activities of this rural territory.
A rich and committed program
Over three days, the festival offers an eclectic program: concerts of traditional and contemporary music, a producers' market, debates and conferences on the territory's challenges, film screenings, philosophical workshops, and activities for children. In the evening, traditional dances bring together all generations in a warm and festive atmosphere.
A free and civic event
The Fête de la Montagne Limousine is free and open to all. It is organized by the Syndicat de la Montagne limousine with the support of numerous local associations and committed volunteers. Each edition takes place in a different location on the plateau, strengthening the link between the communes and the inhabitants of this high-altitude territory that spans three departments.
