Les Extraverties Festival

A life-size festival in Suisse Normande

Every year in May, Suisse Normande vibrates to the rhythm of the Les Extraverties Festival, a unique event combining outdoor activities, free concerts, and nature awareness. Spread between the spectacular site of La Roche d'Oëtre (on Thursday) and the town of Pont-d'Ouilly (on Friday and Saturday), the festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year, with 25,000 visitors in 2023.

More than 30 outdoor activities

The festival offers around thirty sports and nature activities accessible to everyone: hiking, canoeing, climbing, treetop adventure, zip-lining, paddleboarding, archery, and water games. Each activity is offered at a symbolic price of 1 to 3 euros, making the event accessible to all budgets. Professional instructors ensure the safety and initiation of participants.

Eco-village and nature market

The eco-village, set up in the public park of Pont-d'Ouilly, hosts a nature market with local producers and artisans, environmental awareness workshops, a space for young children, and entertaining shows. It is a place for discovery and sharing around ecological values and the Norman terroir.

Free concerts and festive atmosphere

The festival evenings are enlivened by free open-air concerts, offering an eclectic musical program. A dance area allows festival-goers to extend the party. The friendly atmosphere and the nature spirit make Les Extraverties a unique event of its kind in Calvados.
