Maquis culturel: when your holidays meet the stage

At Les Terrasses, we do everything we can to make your holiday unlike any other. When evening falls, between the stone walls and the stars of the Cévennes, with the forest as a backdrop, something unexpected happens. An actor bringing Victor Hugo to life. The poetry of a violin rising into the summer night. A singer who takes you on a journey, glass in hand, to a destination unknown.
That's exactly why we created Maquis culturel.

An association born out of a desire to share

Maquis culturel, It is a small collective full of energy and enthusiasm, which we founded with a handful of friends from the village and values such as discovery, sharing, openness to others, conviviality, closeness and diversity.
Our association organises cultural evenings in the village or the valley and its surroundings, most often with free admission, a collection, and at local residents' homes.

At home... sometimes that means at our place, on the terraces.

Because we ourselves are big fans of alternative artistic practices, we wanted to create a place for living and experiencing, where holidaymakers, artists, creators, people curious about the area, schoolchildren, senior citizens and others can come together. In short, a place where culture comes to you, simply, without barriers.

Evenings that will make your stay memorable

Two or three times a year, outside of peak season, we host a show on the terraces. These events have become highlights for both our guests and local residents. And there are plenty of memories to cherish:
- Theatre — Victor Hugo, un géant dans un siècle by Compagnie Élégie
- French song — Jasmine, an intimate and luminous concert
- Violin recital — Romain Bérenguel, between virtuosity and emotion
- Theatre — La Piscine de Siloé, an unforgettable theatrical interlude

Et cette année?

En 2026, deux rendez-vous vous attendent:

  • Le 13 juin — Humanistes, par la Compagnie Élégie
  • Le 4 septembre — E il viaggio continua, par la Compagnie Au fur et en mesures

L’Échalapée Belle

In our opinion (subjective ratings out of 3)

This is the kind of festival we love! Every Wednesday from mid-July to the end of August, Balagan puts on shows and dances in partnership with the municipality of Sénéchas.

The intimate setting of the Théâtre de Verdure is perfectly suited to concerts of all kinds: French chanson, Gypsy music, songs from North Africa and the Mediterranean basin, and more. The originality, quality and conviviality of these summer events are what make them so special.

Folk dances enliven the Pré Communal, where young and old alike gather with their families to dance with enthusiasm and simplicity.

An unmissable event during our summers in the Cévennes!

Theatre under the stars

In our opinion (subjective ratings out of 3)

For 16 years now, the Athome theatre company has been revisiting the great classics of theatre with humour and self-deprecation. A dozen passionate artists do everything on stage: technical work, music and, of course, acting. Every summer, they put on a comedy show for the whole family, offering a convivial experience full of colour and emotion.

You have the whole summer to go and cheer them on!
