Nature en Fête is back on 10, 11 and 12 October 2025!

This October, let’s come together to celebrate nature!

Live performances, creative workshops, revitalising walks, informative talks, concerts and even a giant karaoke…

On 10, 11 and 12 October 2025, Nature en Fête returns to La Gacilly for a naturally 100% free weekend!

Three vibrant, inspiring and immersive days to learn, marvel and reconnect with nature.

For all audiences, young and old!

3 days, 3 different venues in La Gacilly!

Friday 10 October at the Artémisia

The festival opens in style with the inaugural round table: “Listening to the Living World”. An inspiring conversation at the crossroads of art, science and ancestral cultures, a beautiful way to tune our senses to nature, which has so much to say… if only we listen!

After reflection comes connection, with a laid-back, 100% vegetarian dinner, followed by a sensory, poetic and magical performance: “ViE”, a visual and sound-based theatre piece that delights both children and adults, brought to you by Filomène et Compagnie.

Saturday 11 October: Gardens behind the Tourist Office

All day long, immerse yourself in fun and creative activities: pedal-powered rides, wild basket-weaving, green music and flower crown workshops, a cabinet of curiosities, sound quizzes, botanical games… There’s something for everyone, especially the kids!

Do not miss:

🌲 “In the Woods” – a unique interactive theatre experience. A blend of dance and the words of Henry D. Thoreau.

🎼 “The Symphony of the Living” – an immersive sound installation at the heart of a green labyrinth.

🎤 A mega party for the kids, with a high-energy concert by TeKeMaT, followed by wild karaoke and a zany music quiz. And plenty more surprises !!

Sunday 12 October at the Biodiversity Observatory

Lace up your trainers (or hop on your bike) to explore nature from a new perspective.

On the programme:

🦉 A nature walk with a local wildlife expert

🚲 A botanical bike tour through the streets of La Gacilly

🌿 An exclusive guided visit of the Yves Rocher Botanical Garden and its green treasures

Activity sign-ups open on 21 July – stay tuned on our platforms!

Why not come by bike?

With our Treecycle Challenge, cycling = planting a tree! 💪

Help reforest our countryside with pedal power! One tree will be planted for every festival-goer who comes to Nature en Fête by bike on the Saturday. Just let us know when you register!
To make your journey part of the fun, the collective La Sonnette has created four green routes for a safe, easy ride from nearby towns.

On arrival: enjoy a refreshing drink (well deserved!) and a free bike check-up by La Sonnette — because cycling to us is already taking action!

A sustainable, local and committed festival!

Because celebrating nature starts with caring for it, Nature en Fête is committed to doing things right.

Our goals: zero single-use plastic, reusable tableware, waste sorting and reuse, water fountains, and 100% local, seasonal, vegetarian food.

This initiative, like all projects led by the Yves Rocher Foundation, is built collectively — with the support of our partners and providers, and with you, the festival-goers!

Follow the sorting instructions on site and opt for eco-friendly travel to the festival.
