Discovering Nature in Périgord-Limousin

The La Chevêche Festival, organized by the CPIE of Périgord-Limousin, is a place for meetings, exchanges, and debates between associations, researchers, and the general public, both novices and initiated. Its objective: to inspire people to discover the nature around us and to commit to its preservation.

A New Theme Each Year

Each edition focuses on a specific theme: agriculture and food in 2024, environmental health in 2025. This thematic approach allows for an in-depth exploration of current ecological issues from various accessible angles.

A Rich and Family-Friendly Program

The festival unfolds in two parts: the Chevêche Meetings, activities spread across Périgord-Limousin-Angoumois in the weeks preceding the event, followed by the main weekend in Nontron with conferences, forums, nature outings, exhibitions, film screenings, creative workshops, and activities for all ages.
