Un Été à Sédières

2026 Season: Nature in the spotlight at Château de Sédières

From June 13th to September 30th, 2026, the Château de Sédières in Clergoux opens its doors for its new summer cultural season. For this edition, Nature is highlighted through exhibitions, concerts, shows, and activities celebrating the richness and beauty of living things.

Three immersive exhibitions on nature

The château hosts three complementary artistic proposals around the theme of the forest and living things:

• Kendra Haste — for the first time in France, the British artist installs her forest creatures sculpted from steel wire in the château's rooms.
• Pierre-Luc Poujol — pictorial works on trees and plants, an immersive dive into a forest universe.
• Égletons Photo Nature — photographs of local wildlife by Corrèze naturalist photographers, presented in the French garden and the concert hall (selection from the Défis 100% Corrèze).

Free Monday evening aperitif concerts

Throughout the summer, the department offers a series of free outdoor aperitif concerts, on Mondays at 7 PM, with an eclectic program mixing jazz, brass-band, pop-rock, local scene, disco, gypsy music, and Occitan songs. Light refreshments available on site with Origine Corrèze products (local charcuterie, pizzas, regional specialties). In case of rain, concerts will be moved to the performance hall.

Shows for young audiences on Wednesdays

Every Wednesday at 3 PM (with two additional sessions at 11 AM on July 22nd and 29th), the château offers shows for young audiences: circus, magic, storytelling, theater, dance, participatory shows, in a warm atmosphere.

Two flagship events

• June 14th, 2026 — Dance with the Hervé Koubi Company, opening the season.
