Burning Moulin: A new participatory gathering in a French countryside mill

Burning Moulin is an upcoming artistic and participatory gathering that will take place from July 7 to 14, 2025, in a former countryside mill near Nevers, in Burgundy, France.

Its mission is clear: to create a deeply human, artistic, and communal experience, rooted in generosity, contribution, shared creativity, and the freedom to express.

The place: a rural mill turned creative ground

The site includes 250 hectares of forests, fields and ponds, barns, stables, a repurposed pigsty, a shared kitchen, bathrooms, a bathtub, and plenty of space to host art installations and themed camps.

Burning Moulin 2025

What's happening?

Burning Moulin is not a commercial festival. There is no ticket fee. Instead, groups of friends are invited to build their own autonomous camp, propose a theme, and contribute an artistic or festive creation to the "playa": it can be a sculpture, a chill zone, a vehicle, a scene or a ritual.

  • 7 burns (one per night)
  • Artcars to cruise through the forest and fields
  • Concerts and DJ sets in barns, woods, or by the ponds
  • Open-air cinema with films and surprises
  • Workshops & activities – anything is possible
  • Fire shows, performances, theater and rituals
  • Chill-out spaces and spontaneous installations
  • Shared kitchen with rotating shifts
