Cultural Season at Val Cenis

Festival c'est l'Printemps à Val Cenis

Laurent Gerra Auditorium - Val Cenis-Lanslebourg

As winter gradually gives way to spring, Val Cenis with a must-see event: the C’est l’Printemps de Val Cenis festival.

Every year, Laurent Gerra, the festival’s artistic director, invites his artist friends to put together an eclectic lineup, where talent, emotion, and laughter take center stage.

"A story of friends

Laurent Gerra, artistic director of the festival

"The "C'est l'Printemps à Val Cenis " festival is above all a story of friends. It's also a festival that offers real diversity: from Pierre Perret to Bernard Lavilliers, via Jean-Pierre Marielle, who came to read erotic letters in 2015, or Renaud Capuçon in 2022 for a superb concert entitled "Un violon à Paris", the festival has never focused on a particular theme or style. Humor, live TV shows, rock or classical concerts... it's all very varied, and that's one of the strengths of this festival. But there's one common thread: friendship and talent. I open my address book and invite artists I know and admire. When I tell them about the C'est l'printemps festival in Val Cenis, a lot of artists want to take part. And once they've come, they want to come back!
