La Ronde des Arts en Morvan: An Artistic Journey Through the Villages
Every summer in early August, the villages of southern Morvan become settings for quality art exhibitions. The festival La Ronde des Arts en Morvan invites the public to follow a cultural itinerary through several communes, where painters, sculptors, photographers, and craftspeople display their works in chosen locations.
A Traveling and Free Festival
The principle of La Ronde des Arts is simple and appealing: each participating village hosts one or more artists who exhibit their works in original venues—town halls, community rooms, workshops, gardens. Visitors are invited to travel from village to village, combining artistic discovery with a journey through the magnificent landscapes of Morvan. All exhibitions are free.

- Moulins-Engilbert: photographs, paintings
