The objective is to create a virtuous circle generating social ties in a rural environment. To forge this link, the association hosts various cultural, educational and participatory events.

L’ART EN CHEMIN uses the pretext of walks and hikes so that citizens of all ages come together around art, heritage and ecology.

As every year, the local press will relay the event, press, web, television

L'Art en Chemin has existed for ten years and has been very successful, and thousands of people have visited the places and the artistic works.

For its tenth anniversary, Art en Chemin is organizing many exceptional events such as concerts and plays. Also, it was decided to give a place to the seventh art. An animated film competition is planned on the theme of the year "Passage-pas sage". Candidates are sought to participate in its first animation film festival as part of the Senlis Short Film Festival.
