In 2021, Terre Sauvage and its partners took on a challenge as crazy as it was exhilarating: creating a festival. And it was a success! So, here we go again for a new edition, and we look forward to seeing you in Névache in July 2026.

The idea was to offer a sensitive, intelligent, friendly, and festive event. The Terre Sauvage Festival aimed to get bodies and minds moving, to bring together those who share the same passion for nature. Those who, with us, month after month, marvel at the beauty of nature. And it was a success.

The program includes photo exhibitions, conferences, concerts, shows, films, workshops for young and old... in July 2026 with the Terre Sauvage Festival, a life-size world will be invited to the entire Clarée Valley.
