Getting there

Festival of ancient music in Maguelone What is it ?

Every year, the Festival de Maguelone returns to enchant late spring with four precious events, held in the singular cathedral of the sands, lost behind its ganivelle-edged dunes and lulled by the distant presence of the sea.

A lover of all kinds of heritage, passionate about the Montpellier region and quick to build bridges between the arts, the festival has multiplied the number of off-the-beaten-track concerts, without ever losing sight of its primary mission: to bring together the stones and people of the beauty dreamt of centuries ago.

2026 Programme:

Highlights include:

  • the closing concert featuring Jordi Savall and the Hespèrion XXI ensemble, exploring the art of variation and improvisation
  • the festival’s tribute to Denis Raisin Dadre, notably by the Doulce Mémoire ensemble, which the musician founded
  • the participation of young European artists with the Théodora ensemble

How to go there ?

Where does it take place ? Maguelone’s Cathedral 34750 Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone

Focus on... Saint-Pierre de Maguelone cathedral

In a leafy setting in the centre of the peninsula, the Saint-Pierre de Maguelone cathedral is a unique place where history meets tradition.
This fortified church, a former Romanesque bishop’s palace, received popes and bishops in the Middle Ages.

The town has a number of renowned wineries offering a range of wines and muscats that regularly win awards.
