History, heritage, architecture, art... these are just some of the fascinating areas in which the whole family can learn about at national and local events!
Here is a selection of our main cultural events, organised by the Tourist Office, local associations and our partners.
European Archaeology Days
Since the 18th century, the underground has been revealing its archaeological treasures. To mark the Archaeology Days, the Tourist Office team is opening the doors of the Ecclesia, the Aldermen's Tower and the Potters' Kilns to show you the archaeological collections. There will also be entertainment for young and old, with guest companies. See you on 17 and 18 June 2023 (programme to be announced).

Journée de l’ArchitectureArt et patrimoine: when art takes to the streets!
Every first weekend in September since 1986, the Association l'Art dans la rue has been organising one of the biggest cultural events in the region: Art et Patrimoine. National and international artists are invited to exhibit their work in the streets and heritage sites in the town centre: an average of 5,000 works of art (sculpture, painting, etc.) cover almost 1,200 square metres.
The event attracts between 15,000 and 20,000 curious onlookers to the streets of Luxeuil-les-Bains over the weekend!
Annual exhibitions at the Tour des Echevins
During the spa season, a local artist takes over the floors of the Aldermen's Tower to present an exhibition of paintings, sculptures or other plastic arts, in addition to the archaeological collections that are usually accessible.
