Various regional agricultural, cultural, and heritage events are being held across France. In Montredon, seasonal markets highlight local producers such as farmers and artisans, featuring meat, vegetables, honey, and cheeses. These events include discussions on the ‘Social Security of Food’ (Sécurité Sociale de l’Alimentation), a system aimed at ensuring food rights outside of traditional capitalism, with presentations by André Parenti and agronomist Caroline Dumas.

In the Béarn region, the village of Laruns is organizing a 2026 festival to celebrate cheese production, transhumance, and pastoral life. The event features cheese competitions and will highlight Roquefort cheese from the Aveyron region.

Scheduled cultural activities include the 6th edition of Caesarodunum at the Marmoutier Abbey in Touraine, featuring Gallo-Roman camp reenactments and archaeological tours. Other events include the Artannes Plage 80s-themed concerts in Indre, a horror film marathon in Tours, and the Festival des Grands Arbres in St-Pierre-des-Corps. In L’Arbresle, heritage days will offer weaving and spinning demonstrations, stained glass workshops, and exhibitions on local history.

Upcoming festivities in early September include the ‘Médiévales’ festival in Pont-Saint-Esprit, featuring medieval camps, Templar combat demonstrations, and an equestrian spectacle. Additionally, Saint-Étienne-au-Mont will host ‘Saint-Étienne-au-Mont en fête’, which includes a motorcycle exhibition and a World War II-themed American military camp reenactment.
