A poetic journey "At the crossroads"

From December 18 to January 2, young and old are invited to live a poetic experience, dotted with light, at the confluence of local history and the wonderful world of Christmas, for a stroll between the Pili Tafernaberry square and the Lavoir car park.

This is a invitation to imagine yourself aboard extraordinary ships, in the footsteps of Bidartar sailors, to admire a northern snowstorm, to contemplate unexplored plant worlds.

Open your eyes and you might come across the abysmal clarity of a funny creature.

And to go further in the experience, book your seat for a 45min storytelling trip and climb aboard the “Batoxygen”, the first hot-air balloon boat.

Through the grace of imagination and words, Rosaria Sidnée Fucks-Bradit, woman-captain who braved all storms, takes you on an epic and oceanic journey through the five paintings of this "crossroads".
