A rich and varied calendar invites you to discover, or re-discover, numerous archaeological sites, cultural heritage, museums and collections distributed throughout the region, some of which are normally closed to the public or subject to work and research.

During the whole period, tickets to lot of exhibitions, castles and cultural sites are free or reduced.
