THE PROJECT

As part of the 2014-2020 Massif Central Interregional Agreement, the artistic project Notre Empreinte, proposed by the Le Cri Dévot company and supported by two cultural associations—one from Nièvre and the other from Hérault—was implemented across the municipalities of Lormes, Ganges, Brissac, and Pérignat-ès-Allier throughout 2017.
