It's Springtime at Val Cenis

"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!

When the weather starts to warm up and the days grow longer, Val Cenis into a bustling hub of activity. The“C’est l’Printemps à Val Cenisfestival is much more than a series of performances: it’s an enchanting escape where high culture meets high altitude.

2026 was a great year, featuring:

• The elegance of Pierre Arditi, who shared his favoriteliterary workswith us in an intimate and original performance, blending the depth of Michel Onfray with the humor of Yasmina Reza.
• The energy of Bénabar, who chose our station to give an exclusive preview of the songs from his new tour and his latest album, *Le soleil des absents*, accompanied by his longtime musicians.
• The creative genius ofÉdouard Baer, who presented his new show“Ma Candidature,”a theatrical epic blending eloquence and improvisation to rekindle the world’s enthusiasm.

An event where the close interaction with the artists and the magic of the mountain peaks created unforgettable memories.
