The Mairie of Saint-Benoît-de-Carmaux is hosting the 38th edition of the Autumn Salon, taking place from October 10 to 18, 2026. This year's exhibition is themed "Chemins de traverse" (Crossroads/Byways).

The theme "Chemins de traverse" invites reflection on the human gesture that inscribes lasting passages in the landscape. From the first footpaths to major roads, humans shape routes that connect territories, crossing mountains and valleys, and facilitating the movement of people, goods, and stories.
These paths, whether traveled on foot, by bike, car, train, or boat, are not just infrastructure. They symbolize travel, discovery, exchange, and testify to the human need to move and create connections. They narrate the movement of the world, drawing a living map where people, ideas, and cultures circulate.
The town hall invites the public to come and discover this exhibition, which will be an opportunity to showcase local talents.
The exhibition will be open from Monday, October 12 to Friday, October 16, from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. On Saturday, October 10, Sunday, October 11, Saturday, October 17, and Sunday, October 18, hours will be from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
A bobbin lace demonstration is also scheduled for Saturday, October 10, and Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
