Le Nombril du Monde - Jardin d'histoires

It is said that all the stories and the most beautiful lies were born in Pugne-Hérisson. Self-declared navel of the world, this village of Gâtine is a high place of the tale where the imagination has no limits!
Accessibly free, the garden of stories gives you stories and stories and shows its playful installations. Tales, slices of life, stories of children and adults to sleep on their feet listen to each other as they sound.
The guided tour of the legend of the Navel promises a family and unusual moment where tarabuster machines and laboratory of umbilicology will not fail to enchant young and old.
From April to September, nocturnes and outdoor shows punctuate the season.
Storytellers and musicians invite everyone to share a poetic and convivial moment.

From August 14 to 15, the Nombril du Monde celebrates its 30th anniversary at a highly navel festival!

Reopening in early June 2020.
Pougné-Hérisson is a legendary village engendering the tallest of tales. So tall, in fact, that the simple existence of this Poitou hamlet may appear uncertain, which is not the case! In mid-August, a Pougné festival indeed takes place, as a new capital abruptly rises out of its granite, desertified magma. The town in progress encounters urban growing pains as it turns into a place for citizens, words, exchanges, life in tribes, unsafe streets... It becomes not so much a city, as an ambitious megalopolis. In a few days will emerge from the earth a university, a hospital, embassies and ministries, international centers for shows, tribunals, a stock exchange... 150 artists for 2 days of street theater, justice, tales, songs, games, Tamenti, urban events, lectures, educational activities.
