About L'Échappée Belle
L'Échappée Belle, performing arts in nature
The L'Échappée Belle Festival is a flagship open-air performing arts event in the Bordeaux metropolitan area. Organized by the national stage Carré-Colonnes, it takes over the magnificent Parc de Fongravey in Blanquefort every May for four days of outdoor performances.
Street arts, circus, and dance
The program combines street theater, contemporary circus, dance, music, and performances. Companies take over the lawns, groves, and paths of the park to create immersive and surprising shows, often designed specifically for this natural setting.
A family-friendly and accessible festival
L'Échappée Belle is a resolutely family-friendly and accessible festival. Many shows are free, and a program for young audiences is offered. The first two days are reserved for school groups, while the weekend is open to everyone.
Parc de Fongravey
The Parc de Fongravey is a vast green space in Blanquefort that offers an ideal setting for the festival. Its meadows, shaded paths, and wooded areas host the various stages and artistic installations.
