Ten communes, including Anglars-Saint-Félix, Belcastel, Bournazel, Escandolières, Goutrens, Lugan, Mayran, Montbazens, Rignac, and Roussennac, are participating in this edition of the Téléthon.

The varied program includes hikes from Belcastel, Rignac towards Aubignac, and from Escandolières to Bournazel. Sports enthusiasts can also join a Color Run, a walking or mountain biking challenge, and a pétanque competition. Music will be featured with concerts, choirs, dance evenings, and a theatrical performance.
Food lovers can enjoy diverse meals such as paella, cassoulet, oysters, and game, as well as sales of fouaces, bread baked in traditional ovens, cakes, and grilled chestnuts. Initiatives like the jumble sale at the Médiathèque du Pays Rignacois and tombolas complete the program.
Saturday, December 5th, will be a key highlight with numerous activities. In Rignac, a hike will be offered by the Marcheurs du Pays Rignacois, while Espérance Rignacoise will host a musical event.
