Ô Fil du Loir

Ô Fil du Loir: Theater in the Garden at Ronsard's House

Ô Fil du Loir is a theater and music festival held in a place steeped in history and poetry: the Manoir de la Possonnière, in Couture-sur-Loir (Vallée-de-Ronsard), in Loir-et-Cher. This 15th-century Renaissance manor house, a listed historic monument, is the birthplace of Pierre de Ronsard, prince of poets.

An Intimate and Convivial Festival

Created in 2023, Ô Fil du Loir cultivates the art of closeness and conviviality. The festival takes place over a weekend in June, from Friday to Sunday, with performances under a tent in the manor's gardens. The atmosphere is that of a human-sized festival, where artists and spectators share special moments in an intimate and green setting.

A Quality Theatrical and Musical Program

The program happily blends theater and music. The plays are often discoveries made at the Festival d'Avignon, selected for their artistic quality and their ability to touch a wide audience. Music plays an essential role, with concerts of virtuosic baroque music and original musical shows. Between performances, Bobines - refined interludes created and performed by artists and surprise guests - punctuate the program.

An Exceptional Heritage Setting

The Manoir de la Possonnière offers an incomparable setting for this festival. Its terraced gardens, its Renaissance buildings adorned with engraved mottos, and its shaded areas provide a natural backdrop that enhances the shows. The festival contributes to the promotion of this remarkable heritage of the Vallée du Loir, helping to introduce this place beyond traditional tourist routes.

A Passionate Team

Ô Fil du Loir is driven by a team of about fifteen friends, artists, actors, writers, and enthusiasts living in Loir-et-Cher and Sarthe. This associative and friendly dimension gives the festival its authentic character and its human warmth, far from standardized festival formats.
