Concert by the trio Les Autres

Saturday 17 August at 6.30pm

Payment is by the free, necessary and responsible hat!
In case of rain, the venue will be the foyer intercommunal d’éducation populaire in Neuvic.
Their albums will be on sale after the concert.

LES AUTRES is a French chanson trio based around vocals, four-handed piano and body percussion. From lyrics to music, all their compositions are original. In his songs, Emmanuel Demonsant tackles with all his heart the deep themes that concern and bind us all: childhood, love, death, relationships with others, all with a humour all his own.
The imaginative arrangements by Vincent Pouderoux and Charles Pommel are true musical compositions that carry the words powerfully.
The three musicians, who were also trained in theatre, met through theatre. This particularity emerges naturally from their concerts, through the scenic aspect, particularly visual.
Through the writing, arranging, performance and staging, each song is conceived as a little world in itself, a small universe for the space of a few minutes.

Felling of fir trees at the bottom of the park

The park will be closed for the European Heritage Days

Unfortunately, there will be no European Heritage Days this year due to the felling of the fir trees at the bottom of the park for safety reasons and drought.

The grandis and pectine trees can no longer stand the heat and are dying…
