Edition 2025 — 6x6 Haut-Lignon
The 5th edition of the 6x6 trail, titled "Ici au loin" (Here and Far Away), took place from June 27 to August 25, 2025, in the six communes of Haut-Lignon. Nine photographers and about fifteen artists were presented, with two renowned international guests: Finn Pentti Sammallahti and American Lucian Perkins (two-time Pulitzer Prize winner). The theme, borrowed from a book by Sammallahti published by Actes Sud, contrasted a certain way of life on the Vivarais-Lignon plateau with perspectives from elsewhere. Over twenty free events: concerts, screenings, linocut workshops, guided tours, and performances.
