"Cygnes des Temps": A Journey into the History of Péronne

Prepare to dive into a unique magic that combines history and emotion! For its fifth edition in June 2025, "Cygnes des Temps", the sound and light show of Péronne, returns to celebrate the memories of our city through a memorable fresco.
Dominique and Loïse Martens, our directors, have decided to make us discover the past of Péronne and its territory through the eyes of Pierre Mac Orlan, an illustrious writer, native of our city and soldier wounded in Cléry-sur-Somme during the First World War.
At all times, spectators live an astonishing immersive experience. The listed site of the Porte de Bretagne serves as a living decor, sublimated by lighting effects and innovative visual effects.
Since its beginnings, "Cygnes des Temps" has been the result of close collaboration between local artists, passionate volunteers and a committed technical team. This fifth edition promises to be even more grandiose, bringing together all generations around the shared history of our city.
Join us in June 2025 for an unforgettable moment, where past and present meet under the stars.

"Cygnes des Temps" is not just a show, it is a vibrant tribute to the soul of Péronne.
