Shows

Oisôh and Chevâl - Cie Paris-Benarès – at 3 PM, 3:45 PM, 4:40 PM and 5:40 PM – All Public
Ambulatory sound shows of giant puppets.
Oisôh
Two explorers on the back of a wading bird, land on the pavement in search of new territory. The deployed wings of the 'Oisôh' caress the facades of your houses while it picks your flowers and shrubs during a poetic and funny journey.
Chevâl
Face to face, a dancer and Chevâl, a puppet 3m high, try to tame each other. "Shawl" is an encounter between the human and the animal, between the body and the object, grace and mechanics. This oversized duo tells us a fable loaded with poetry and humor.
Museums with clowns – Cie Née au Vent - Guided tour for clowners - All public - At 3 PM, 4 PM, 5 PM - Duration 35 min.
Bombyx and Pili-Pili, two clowns, also Emeritus Guides to the Homeric Merits, will make you discover the Museum of Mills as you have never imagined... Follow our two eminent specialists according to their equally enlightened and fanciful comments. They are there. They are waiting for you. They are ready to teach you everything they don’t know...
Grand Prix de la Moulinade - Cie La Mince affaire - Fairground entrance - All public - Continuous
A completely crazy slot car race (circuit of small dynamopropelled cars) commented by a former racing driver and his worrying bookmaker sidekick, all accompanied by lively music! Will you be among the champions to proudly hoist the famous trophy?
