The first national gathering for French Protestants “Protestants en fête”, Protestant Festival 2009, is three days of exchanges, discoveries and celebrations.

This event is organized by the Protestant Federation of France [Fédération Protestante de France]. For three days, Strasbourg will welcome nearly 10,000 participants coming from throughout all of France for festivities open to everyone and for all ages ... This is why the programs and activities are free of charge.

    This is an event that will interest the broad public, believers and non-believers.

     Forums and discussions on social issues, exposition stands representing associations active in the social and humanitarian milieu, gospel concerts,... Everyone can find something to interest him there. Sunday morning worship is the only activity that will represent a purely spiritual dimension.

    Ciarus, Protestant in origin and heir of the Unionist movement, will participate actively in the festival:

- You can come and draw spiritual nourishment with 4 lectures planned and one exhibition

- You will rub shoulders with the organizers and artists there, since Ciarus is where they are staying

- You can partake of a family meal there or have a meal among friends since our self-service restaurant, Le Plateau, will be open for the weekend. It is best to make a reservation at 03 88 15 27 90
