La Poule à Facettes — edition 2026

12th edition of the La Poule à Facettes Festival on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, 2026, in the cloister of Cormery Abbey (37). A weekend of eclectic open-air music with free entry, in an exceptional heritage setting, organized by the Artlequin association.

12th edition on May 23 and 24, 2026

The La Poule à Facettes Festival returns for its 12th edition on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, 2026, in the cloister of Cormery Abbey, in Indre-et-Loire. True to its eclectic and friendly spirit, the festival, as every year, spreads its program across several stages to make the medieval stones of the cloister vibrate.

A weekend of pay-what-you-want music

Both days start at 3 PM and continue until midnight, alternating concerts, entertainment, and artistic proposals. Entry is free and operates on a pay-what-you-want basis (hat), a formula that allows the festival to welcome a wide audience — families, music lovers, curious passers-by.

The abbey cloister transformed for the occasion

The setting of the cloister of the former Benedictine abbey of Cormery, founded in the 8th century, offers a unique atmosphere for concerts. The Artlequin association highlights local artists and annually offers a musical selection that blends French chanson, world music, electro, rock, and regional discoveries.

Bar and catering on site

As with each edition, a bar and catering area welcomes festival-goers throughout the weekend. Animals are not allowed on the site. Access is open to all.
