InTENCEment Contes

1st Edition - July 15-17, 2022

The first edition of InTENCEment Contes took place from July 15 to 17, 2022, in Tence and its surroundings. Organized by the bookstore La Boîte à Soleils, this inaugural event brought together three talented professional storytellers: Éric Frerejacques, Hélène Palardy, and Olivier Ponsot.

The program included narrated walks in the Crouzilhac forest (Saturday and Sunday at 10 am), storytelling performances at the Jardins du Trifoulou (Saturday at 5 pm), a fireside gathering at Murmures du Lignon (Saturday at 9 pm), and an inaugural walk on Friday afternoon which attracted over 80 participants. The festival, entirely free and with a hat collection, was a great success for this first edition.
