Les Bichoiseries

Les Bichoiseries: The Unmissable Musical Event of the Norman Countryside

Since 2007, the Les Bichoiseries festival has taken over the Mont de Cerisy every summer, an exceptional natural site overlooking the Norman countryside, for two days of contemporary music and festive entertainment. This atypical and eclectic festival has forged a strong identity in the cultural landscape of Normandy.

A High-Level Eclectic Program

Les Bichoiseries stands out with a program that mixes national and international renowned artists with local discoveries. The 2025 edition, the 18th of its name, notably hosted MC Solaar, Cali, Meute, Féfé, Bagarre, Johnny Mafia, and Déportivo, confirming the festival's ability to attract top headliners while offering bold musical discoveries.

Two Days of Celebration on Mont de Cerisy

The festival spans two days, Friday and Saturday, with evening concerts on the main stage and discoveries on the secondary stages. Saturday afternoon is dedicated to families with "LeZ'Arts de Rue", offering free activities for all ages: exhibitions, juggling, street theater, and fanfares.

An Accessible and Committed Festival

Les Bichoiseries passionately advocates for access to culture for all. The festival has implemented adapted pathways and trained volunteer teams to assist people with disabilities, ensuring their comfort and safety throughout the event. This accessibility initiative has been praised by regional media and is a cornerstone of the festival's identity.

An Exceptional Natural Setting

The Mont de Cerisy offers a spectacular open-air site with a panoramic view of the Norman countryside. The rustic atmosphere of the location, combined with the quality of the programming and the energy of the volunteers, creates a unique and warm ambiance that retains an ever-growing audience with each edition.

Strong Local Roots

Driven by a team of passionate volunteers from Cerisy-Belle-Étoile and the surrounding area, the festival contributes to the cultural and economic dynamism of the territory. Les Bichoiseries is supported by the Normandy Region and local authorities, demonstrating its major role in the cultural life of the Orne department.
