About Le Grand Rendez-Vous
Le Grand Rendez-Vous: Live Art in the Heart of Aubrac
Le Grand Rendez-Vous is a festival created by the association La Rosée du Matin - A.U.B.R.A.C. (Abri d'Utopies Baroudeuses Rurales Artistiques et Culturelles), founded in April 2023 in Nasbinals. This venue for performances and encounters, nestled on the Aubrac plateau, aims to offer general interest artistic and cultural dynamism in this remarkable rural territory.
A Festival Between Sky and Earth
Le Grand Rendez-Vous takes place over a weekend at the end of June, taking advantage of the long summer days and the exceptional light of the Aubrac plateau. The program combines free outdoor circus and street art performances with ticketed indoor concerts. This dual offering allows it to reach a wide audience, from families to music lovers, from locals to passing tourists.
An Eclectic and Demanding Program
Each edition of the festival brings together artists from diverse backgrounds. The program features contemporary circus, street arts, and live music, with offerings ranging from festive brass bands to more intimate concerts. The invited companies present itinerant shows, acrobatic performances, and original creations designed for the natural space of Aubrac.
The 2025 edition notably hosted Alfredo Buendía y Los Picaflores, the Association des Clous, Bom O'Cœur, the Cie Carnage Productions, Deadwood, and the Cie Monsieur le Directeur, offering a varied panorama of contemporary performing arts.
Gastronomy and Terroir
True to the spirit of Aubrac, the festival highlights local products and regional gastronomy. Festival-goers can enjoy Aubrac specialties — aligot, Aubrac beef, Laguiole cheeses — accompanied by local drinks, in a friendly and rustic atmosphere. The producers' market and food stalls contribute to making Le Grand Rendez-Vous a moment of gourmet discovery as much as an artistic one.
A Territorial Project
Supported by a team of enthusiasts united around the association La Rosée du Matin, the festival is part of a cultural revitalization initiative for the Aubrac plateau. By offering quality events in a territory far from major urban centers, Le Grand Rendez-Vous contributes to the tourist and cultural appeal of Nasbinals and the entire Aubrac Regional Natural Park.
