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: create a deeply human, artistic, and communal experience, rooted in generosity, contribution, and shared creativity.

 

 

The place: an old mill turned artistic camp

The site includes 250 hectares of forest, fields, and ponds, with barns, stables, a repurposed pigsty, shared kitchen, showers, and open areas for theme camps and installations.

 

 

 

• What’s planned (and what’s yet to come)

  Burning Moulin is not a commercial festival. Everyone is invited to co-create the event. So far, the vision includes:

  • 7 burns (one each night)

  • Artcars to roam the site

  • DJ sets and live music in the forest, barns, and by the water

  • Open-air cinema with curated films

  • Workshops of all kinds

  • Art installations and chill spaces in unexpected places

  • Fire shows, dance, theater and any performance you dare offer

  • Collective meals and shared kitchen shifts

     

 

The core team

The project is led by a passionate team of seven, including:

• Laura Auclair – Afrikaburn 2025, matcha & meditation workshops, head of CinéMoulin + artcars

• Théo – Imagine Family & PMU Nightclub, ticketing & Camp Lavuzzi
