Festival La Folia

Launched in 2001 by an impassioned team, the Festival La Folia in Rougemont quickly established itself as a highlight in the calendars of lovers of ancient music… and of festivities. The secret of its success rests on a few basic ingredients:

  • the Saint Nicolas Church: a little jewel of Romanesque architecture built by monks from Cluny in the 11th century

  • an intimate and cheerful atmosphere

  • an idyllic setting in the heart of the Pre-Alps in the Canton of Vaud

  • original concert programmes featuring international as well as upcoming stars

  • a circle of friends of eminent artists who look forward to returning to Rougemont

  • an organization based completely on volunteer work… and great enthusiasm!
