30 years of story(ies): an anniversary edition

To celebrate their 30th anniversary, Les Nuits de Marcolès presented an exceptional edition from July 23 to 26, 2025, bringing together two renowned professional storytellers: Olivier de Robert and Yves Durand. The theme "30 years of story(ies)" paid tribute to three decades of nocturnal performances in the alleys of the medieval village.

This anniversary edition was an opportunity to revisit the festival's history and present stories that have marked thirty years of creation around storytelling and oral tradition. The village's lighting, designed by Ben Tedd, once again enhanced the medieval architecture of this Petite Cité de Caractère.
