A storytelling festival in the heart of nature
La Langue des Bois is a unique festival that combines the art of storytelling with the discovery of nature in the enchanting setting of Trièves, in the south of Isère. Held at the Moulin de Recours, on the banks of the Ébron river, this summer event invites young and old to reconnect with the living world through the performing arts and spoken word.
A program combining arts and nature
The festival offers a rich and varied program that creates a dialogue between the performing arts and the natural environment: storytelling performances for all audiences, storytelling and botanical walks on the surrounding trails, concerts, magic shows, performances by clowns and acrobats, as well as kamishibai (Japanese paper theater). Professional and amateur artists – storytellers, musicians, actors – perform in an exceptional natural setting.
A strong ecological commitment
True to the values of the association Les Trois Pommes, the festival is part of a resolutely ecological and eco-responsible approach. Environmental awareness is at the heart of every artistic proposal and every activity. Wooden games, nature workshops, and awareness activities complete a program designed to awaken curiosity and respect for the living world.
A moment of conviviality and sharing
La Langue des Bois offers two days and two nights to disconnect from everyday life and experience an immersive experience in the heart of nature. The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly, conducive to encounters and exchanges. The Moulin de Recours site, by the river, offers an idyllic setting for this enchanted interlude between stories and nature.
