Itinéraires en Marne Festival

A unique cultural project in Marne

The Itinéraires Festival is more than just a festival: it is a true cultural project driven by the Department of Marne since 2000. Every year in September, this event invites the public to crisscross the Marne territory to discover quality performances in remarkable and unusual heritage sites.

An eclectic and demanding program

The Itinéraires Festival's program is distinguished by its eclecticism and artistic quality. Contemporary circus, theater, classical music, contemporary music, song: disciplines cross and respond to each other throughout the performances. Artists take over churches, barns, castles, and natural spaces, transforming each location into an ephemeral stage.

Marne heritage as a setting

One of the festival's unique features is its focus on showcasing the architectural and natural heritage of the Marne. Performances take place in exceptional sites, often unknown to the general public, offering a dual discovery: that of living art and that of the territory. This traveling approach allows it to reach a wide audience, including in rural areas far from major performance venues.

A unifying event

Free and open to all, the Itinéraires Festival unites the department's residents around culture. It creates genuine moments of sharing and conviviality, strengthening the bonds between the communes and their inhabitants. Supported by the Braux-sous-Valmy Foundation – Institut de France, the festival benefits from sustainable funding that allows it to maintain a high level of artistic excellence.
