Welcome to the young audience universe of the Festival 

This year, the Festival celebrates children with a rich and vibrant program full of discoveries and emotions. Expect shows specially designed for young audiences, creative workshops, fun activities, and spaces dedicated just to them. Whether to laugh, dream, dance, or create, kids will find their happiness throughout the week. With family or friends, come share magical moments in a festive and caring atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming many of you for a joyful burst of music, color, and fun !

→ Gymnasium Courtyard: a cozy tipi-covered area open to parents and children for quality time together. Mon–Tue, 5:00–8:00 p.m.

→ Vergers de l’Hermitage: a tree-shaded space with outdoor games and activities. Fri–Sun, 5:00–8:00 p.m.

Children’s safety

Stickers to write your child’s name and your phone number are available at the info stands. In case of a lost child, please speak to the Red Cross staff or any Festival team member. The Red Cross stand (across from the Cathedral entrance) is also the best meeting point to share with your child in case you get separated !
