About Us

Le Chant du Tombereau is a festival held since summer 2020 in Derval, between Nantes and Rennes, on a former farm.

This famous farm was inherited from grandparents. Formerly a pig farm, then an agricultural site, today we’re transforming the place with family and friends. We started growing vegetables and fruit, and built a stage for concerts. We’ve also built a superb rehearsal and recording studio in straw earth, which has become the working tool for several local bands. So it’s a multi-project cultural and agri-cultural space on which we want to experiment lots of things.

Since 2020, we’ve been organizing a festival at the beginning of August, with the energy of around twenty friends. Most of us work in the performing arts, and the Chant du Tombereau is an opportunity for us to program bands we like, to celebrate in the most joyful and gentle conditions possible, and then to put our skills to good use for a great buddy project.
