First time

Public © Christophe Raynaud de Lage

How do I get there? How to choose? How to prepare?

Coming to the Festival d'Avignon for the first time is an experience you'll remember for a long time, a unique adventure that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. We want the Festival to welcome as wide an audience as possible, accompanying them in their questions, doubts and desires, in an approach that encourages curiosity, discovery and openness to the world around us.
