Symposium de Sculpture Monumentale de Montjean-sur-Loire

The Symposium des scultures monumentales, a not-to-be-missed event along the Loire à Vélo between Angers and Nantes.

Every year during the summer, the village of Montjean-sur-Loire, between Angers and Nantes, takes on the air of an artist's studio with the Symposium de Sculptures Monumentales. Sculptors working in steel, wood and stone bring magnificent materials to life to create works of art.

Highlights:
- Friday 26 June 6pm: opening of the symposium, presentation of the artists and their projects
- Sunday 12 July 5pm: closing of the symposium, presentation of works by the artists

For 2 weeks, the Quai des Mariniers will be transformed into a veritable open-air workshop, where creativity takes centre stage. Visitors will be able to watch as the artists create their monumental sculptures live, providing a lively spectacle and a unique opportunity to share their passion.

A not-to-be-missed summer rendezvous, the event has enabled the Loire village to build its identity around art. More than a hundred sculptures from previous editions are dotted around the narrow streets and viewpoints overlooking the Loire. You can discover them along the intramural route in Montjean (map at the tourist office) or along the Loire à Vélo des Sculptures between Montjean-sur-Loire and Le Marillais.
