The 11th edition of the Riom ès Contes festival took place on October 18 and 19, 2025, in Riom-ès-Montagnes, Cantal. The Escale Éthique association offered a rich and varied program centered on storytelling and intercultural exchange.
Storytellers from France and diverse backgrounds performed on the festival's various stages, taking the audience on a journey through the world's oral traditions. The performances, suitable for all ages, alternated between traditional tales, popular legends, and contemporary creations.
