Book your tipi !

Zen
  • Don’t forget: a headlamp, sleeping bag, mattress, breathalyzers, tent or hammock, water bottle, snacks for small cravings, first aid kit, shower essentials (only natural & organic products), everything else is superficial. Don’t bring any valuables with you.
  • Bring cash: not all stands are equipped with card payment terminals.
  • Drink water: in order to reduce our plastic footprint, we won’t sell bottled water, but there will be water points all over the site for you to fill your own bottles.
  • Prepare for both warm and cold weather. In Normandy, the weather can change quickly and the nights can be quite chilly, even in summer. A warm sweater, a good jacket, and a raincoat will help you stay protected from the elements!
Respect

Out of respect for the natural beauty of the venue, we invite you to follow these few tips:

  • Bring your own fork/spoon; you can use them at the stands to avoid taking disposable cutlery. Of course, if you don’t have any, cutlery will be provided.
  • Zero cigarette butts on the ground! Pocket ashtrays are distributed at the festival, and each cup filled with cigarette butts you bring to the bar will be exchanged for 1 beer.
  • Recycling: Recycling bins are available throughout the festival, so be sure to dispose of your waste in the correct bins.
Bisous

Based on your feedback from the previous edition, we have prepared an even more beautiful and crazier event for you. In order for the magic to happen, we need everyone present to show respect, kindness, and open-mindedness, towards themselves and others. We count on you to maintain this sense of unity and continue to uphold these values that are so dear to us.

Because exchange, sharing, humanism, and respect are the raw ingredients of happiness…
