Centre des Contes et Légendes, Storytelling center in Roost-Warendin, France.
The Centre des Contes et Légendes occupies part of Bernicourt Castle and features two performance halls, a media library, and artist residency spaces. The surrounding grounds offer landscaped gardens and green areas for exploring.
The facility opened in 2015 within the eighteenth-century Bernicourt Castle, which holds partial historical monument status. The castle served as an important cultural location in the northern France region for generations.
The center presents stories and legends from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region through performances and workshops. Visitors experience traditional narratives and local myths firsthand during their time here.
The two performance halls offer seating for different event sizes and are arranged for easy access. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, as exploring the gardens and interior spaces involves considerable walking.
The center collects stories from local folklore, including tales of supernatural locations and historical witch legends from the region. These regionally rooted narratives form the core of its artistic work and programming.
