26th Edition — "La Grâce" — March 9 to 25, 2024

For its 26th edition, the Printemps des Poètes celebrated "La Grâce", a theme inviting exploration of fleeting beauty, the sublime, and the poetic impulse that seizes the being in its highest dimension. In Haute-Loire, the program mobilized cultural actors from the region around this meaningful theme.
