Veillées de Puisaye

Veillées de Puisaye — 2025 edition

In the spring of 2025, the Veillées de Puisaye gathered an attentive and participatory audience at Les Perriaux in Champignelles, alongside musicians and storytellers. Folk music on violin and accordion, call-and-response songs from the old Poyaudin repertoire, and funny stories about the characters and customs of the people of Puisaye made for a memorable evening.

The audience, a mix of village residents, curious visitors from neighboring towns, and a few tourists sensitive to this intangible heritage, actively participated in the choruses and rounds, extending the vigil in an atmosphere of good humor and camaraderie. These moments of oral and musical transmission are precious for the collective memory of this unique territory that is Puisaye.
