Nous Festival: The Eco-Responsible Celebration at Château de Bellocq

Every summer, the Château de Bellocq, a medieval fortress from the 13th century, hosts the Nous Festival, a musical event that combines a festive atmosphere with ecological commitment. Located at the crossroads of Béarn and the Basque Country, 30 minutes from Bayonne and Pau, this intimate festival offers three days of music in an exceptional heritage setting.

A Strong Ecological Commitment

The Nous Festival presents itself as "the festival of the world after", with the ambition to make the public dance while raising awareness about environmental issues. The organization favors an eco-responsible approach at all levels:

• Dry toilets and solar showers for camping
• Local food trucks offering regional products
• Waste limitation with a ban on glass bottles
• Carpooling encouraged via the Togetzer platform
• Accessibility by train from Puyoô station (18 minutes on foot)

An Eclectic Program

The Nous Festival offers a rich and varied musical program, bringing together over 25 artists for three days. The musical styles cover a wide spectrum, from electronic music to reggae, including dub, world music, and sound systems. The festival showcases both emerging artists and established names on the independent scene.

A Unique Setting

The Château de Bellocq, a listed historic monument, provides a striking backdrop for the music stages. Its medieval walls and towers create a unique atmosphere, blending historical heritage with musical modernity. Camping, included in some passes, allows for full immersion in the festival experience, with breakfast and brunch in the morning.

Solar Sound System

The festival is driven by the association Solar Sound System, a collective committed to promoting responsible festive culture. Pioneers of sound powered by solar energy, the members of Solar Sound System embody the festival's values: celebration, sharing, and respect for the environment.
