Cogne Valley has always been famous for its lively festive occasions, where dancing and singing are accompanied by accordions and the beat of drums. In addition to music, the festive atmosphere is the result of a profound sense of friendship and enjoyment of these get-togethers.
Music is part of the DNA of "Cogneins" and Cogne itself: a village with 1,500 inhabitants that can boast a "Maîtrise" choir, an adult folk group "Lou Tintamaro de Cogne, one for children "Lou Tintamaro Enfants", a children's choir "Le Petit Choeur de Cogne" and over 40 people who play the accordion.
