Les PréAmballes launch the festivities with Loire Forez Agglo
In 2006, for the 10th anniversary, 10 municipalities hosted 10 shows ahead of the festival, the PréAmballes. Thus, a partnership with 52 municipalities was spread over 20 years. Declared of community interest, the PréAmballes are supported by Loire-Forez Agglomération.
Julien Degout, vice-president in charge of culture, underlines: “LFA supports and supports structuring projects with strong influence. The agglomeration has positioned itself for this relocation of cultural action throughout its territory, in rural villages of less than 3,000 inhabitants.
Three companies on five dates
The co-president of the festival, Martin Guillot concludes, “Maintaining an accessible culture in rural areas is a strong act today. The Monts de la Balle are above all a human, collective adventure deeply rooted in its territory.”
