CABARET VERT COMMITS TO REGENERATING LOCAL BIODIVERSITY

Biodiversity loss is a major global issue, with one million animal species at risk of extinction. With every edition, Cabaret Vert takes action to create a positive impact on the natural sites used during the festival (the Meuse riverbanks, Bayard Square, the Macérienne plain, and the campsites).​

Cabaret Vert takes place in a wooded area crossed by the Meuse River. Aware of its environmental responsibility, the festival works to minimize its footprint and preserve the surrounding natural ecosystem.

​

Throughout the year, care is taken to protect and restore the 40-hectare green space at the heart of Charleville-Mézières:

  • Reforestation of the campsite on the former Dauchy farm's market garden with 60 locally sourced trees

  • Maintaining biodiversity by restoring the permanent Cabaret Vert decorative signage as insect hotels

  • Leaving the site inactive for three-quarters of the year to allow nature to regenerate

 

In 2022, the festival also planted 65 meters of trees along the Meuse to further green this now iconic area !
