History
This modern music festival was created in 2007. Year after year, it has grown to accommodate some 30 artists and nearly 40,000 spectators. Due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the 2020 & 2021 edition were cancelled.
Place
Something new in 2022 since the festival is moving to Céret at the Château d’Aubiry. This eclectic neo-baroque style castle, built between 1893 and 1904, was commissioned by industrialist Pierre Bardou-Job from Danish architect Viggo Dorph-Petersen.
In reality, Pierre Bardou wanted to offer a castle to each of his 3 children. There will therefore be Aubiry Castle in Céret for his son Justin, Ducup Park Castle for his daughter Camille and Valmy Castle for his daughter Jean. Until 2019, the festival was held in the park of the Château de Valmy. This park, which offers one of the most beautiful views on the coast, has been managed by the city of Argelès since 1987.
Regardless of the festival, we invite you to visit this place to enjoy this quiet park (except during the festival of course…), test and/or buy wines (we particularly recommend “Les Roses Blanches de Valmy“) or have lunch / dinner at “La Table de Valmy” in this very pleasant environment (see also our article about Argelès restaurants).
