Sustainable tourism

Since the first edition, sustainable development has been at the heart of the festival organization team's concerns. Over 90% of the festival's cuisine is homemade using local and/or organic produce. The beer served at the refreshment stand is regional and organic. Vegetarian meals are systematically offered. Paper editions (notably the program) are kept to a minimum, and information is provided as electronically as possible. An effort has also been made on festival merchandising, where promotional T-shirts and industrial screen-printed objects have been abandoned in favor of limited-edition wooden birdhouses.
